We are beginning to doubt if he has ever showed much party loyalty. As if he just wants to give known socialist a full briefing of all the secrets of this country. It forces us to ask Senator Lankford what are you thinking?</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We found <a href="https://ymlps9.com/2444eewhwjanaewssyafahymaaaujbuy/click.php">this report</a> where Senator Lankford promised to help alleged President elect Biden gain access to classified information. The Senator has either a noticeably short memory or has forgiven the Obama administration entirely. His complaint that the administration will not meet with the candidates team rings even more hollow when one considers that as vice president, Joe Biden was part of the group that allegedly blocked access to sensitive information to members of the incoming administration.<a name='more'></a></div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">The Senator also seems to ignore several facts in the equation. The question has and is being asked if Joe Biden has been compromised by his business dealings with foreign countries. We will not decide but will present several facts that the lame stream media has never told you about and let you make the decision.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">As the Obama administration point man on the Ukraine, he successfully got the states prosecutor that was investigating the company his son was a board member of fired. He told the President of the Ukraine that if the prosecutor were not fired by the time, he left the Ukraine, that he would withhold one billion dollars in aid. He even later bragged about it as you can see by <a href="https://ymlps9.com/2c9d2ewhwbagaewssyazahymalaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">opening this video link</span></span></span></span></span></span></a></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Then in September of this year, two different committees of the Senate released a report that involved Hunter Biden, the Ukraine and China. You can read the entire report <a href="https://ymlps9.com/20c74ewhwhagaewssyarahymanaujbuy/click.php">at this link</a>. We find it utterly amazing as to the amount of money this guy was making, but he still claimed he was broke at a child support hearing in Arkansas.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Then we found <a href="https://ymlps9.com/6c939ewhwwataewssyaoahymaiaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from the Patriotic Times and many others where a supplemental report was issued by the two same committees above that tied Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and their family not only to the Ukraine, but to Russia and China as well. That is a nightmare National Security scenario that can not be allowed to happen. Yet this junior Senator wants to help create the breach.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">We also found this <a href="https://ymlps9.com/75dc0ewhwqadaewssyanahymanaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">unconfirmed report</span></span></span></span></span></span></a></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> from the Daily Caller that indicates Hunter Biden may have been giving and the emphasis is on may, half his salary to his dad. That would make his dad equally as guilty as Hunter. The evidence was on a hard drive in the possession of an attorney. The F.B.I also has a copy of the hard drive.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Then there is the most recent story to break out of the Ukraine. We can pretty much rely on the lame stream media either not reporting this or saying it is wrong. We found several reports <a href="https://ymlps9.com/20ab8ewhwyaaaewssyafahymaraujbuy/click.php">like this one</a> from the Ukraine in the news. Media proclaimed President elect Joe Biden has a Class A felony charge pending in the Ukraine. That only stands to reason.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Now many people who read financial magazines and news are being mislead about the Senator. Most will tell you he lives in Texas, which is far from the truth. Though they are using information provided by the Securities Exchange Commission, Senator Langston does in fact live in Oklahoma City. There have been no transactions reported on his account since 2006. The address he has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission is in Texas. It is the corporate office of the firm he has stock in. Indications are he is a multi-millionaire. You can see this information by <a href="https://ymlps9.com/563d1ewhqsacaewssyagahymaraujbuy/click.php">opening this link</a>.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Now we know Senator Lankford tried to walk back his statement on helping Biden. In like so many other statements he has made through the years that has not been the case. As reported <a href="https://ymlps9.com/20af4ewhquazaewssyarahymavaujbuy/click.php">in this article by</a> the New York Post, the Senator did step in and assist Mr. Biden in obtaining an intelligence brief. This is a move that we would expect from a potential Biden cabinet appointee Mitt Romney.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">This is not the first time that the Senator has gone against the party and the will of the people. Back in June of this year he stood with the Democrats in the changing of base names. We found <a href="https://ymlps9.com/9d4a5ewhqeagaewssyalahymaraujbuy/click.php">this article from</a> the New York Daily News where he says it’s time for some new hero’s. What he is doing is caving into special interest groups who want to re-write American History. You cannot do that. Our history is just that. Live with it or leave.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We next found <strong><a href="https://ymlps9.com/769a8ewhqmaaaewssyatahymagaujbuy/click.php">this wikipedia article</a> </strong>on Senator Lankford. It is good and does tell you a lot about the man, but it is lacking in completeness.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We next went to the Federal Election Commission to see what they had available for his 2022 campaign finances. You can see the report <a href="https://ymlps9.com/1963fewhqjalaewssyagahymadaujbuy/click.php">by opening this link</a>. We found nothing that would raise any alarms. Like most politicians he is taking donations from all the corporations who see him as an asset.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We next found <a href="https://ymlps9.com/4d279ewhqbavaewssyaaahymapaujbuy/click.php">this biography</a> on line. We must say that this is by far the best biography of any politician that we have seen. Anything and everything you want to know about the Senator is here.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We next went to <a href="https://ymlps9.com/0e212ewhqhacaewssyaaahymanaujbuy/click.php">www.votesmart.org</a> to see what information they had available. We already had two biographies, so we started with the key votes. You can see the votes he has made <a href="https://ymlps9.com/691b2ewhqwagaewssyakahymaaaujbuy/click.php">by opening this link</a>. You will be glad that you did.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We next went to the ratings page also known as the political courage test page. The Senator is one of a few that took the time to fill out the questionnaire. The answers can be found <a href="https://ymlps9.com/4f5f3ewhqqaxaewssyaaahymaxaujbuy/click.php">by opening this link</a>. Once again, we urge you to do so. Each section can be expanded to show you where various special interest groups rated the Senator. This information can be helpful.</div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0in;">In closing we can say that the Senator is not an ideal fit for Oklahoma. Nor is he well suited for the rough and tumble games of politics. We admire his religious beliefs and stands, but he sometimes allows them to get in the way with what is best for the country and Oklahoma. Aiding in giving intelligence to a man who has been considered a National Security Risk is not a good decision. The Senator lying to his constituents about it is not a good decision. We call on the Senator to vacate his office and allow someone with more moxy to assume the duties.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342115318170826175.post-16268505515439739182020-10-25T23:08:00.002-05:002020-10-25T23:08:29.738-05:00ARE THE CANDIDATES WORTHY OF YOUR VOTE<div class="separator"><div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="189" src="https://ymlps9.com/imgz/ye74_hornpelosi.jpg" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; user-select: none;" unselectable="on" width="267" /></div></div><div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>ARE THE CANDIDATES WORTHY OF YOUR VOTE</strong></div><div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">THE WATCHMAN</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">From the very beginning, we want to be clear that this is something that all candidates at every level of politics, regardless of political affiliation do. Accepting donations from friends and relatives from out of state is perfectly legal. Accepting donations from corporations, political action committees and unions is also perfectly legal.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">,</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">An example of what we feel as unacceptable is a Republican politician in Oklahoma accepting contributions from nearly all the Native American Tribes recognized by the federal government and not lifting a finger to write a piece of legislation to assist them. He is the subject of a later story.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">But was is chilling is once again foreign money has been detected entering the campaign funds of one political action committee and being distributed to Democratic candidates this time without the candidate’s knowledge. That is a violation of campaign finance law. This is a matter of grave importance to every single voter not just in Oklahoma, but in the Nation. The Federal Election Commission is investigating.<span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">One thing we do know is that dark money is ruining a lot of elections and a lot of futures. ACT Blue is one of those dark money groups. They are currently under investigation by the FEC for laundering money from Black Lives Matter International and putting it into the campaign coffers of prominent politicians. It is a long, sordid tale of trying to get away without having to pay taxes or follow the law.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">This really depends on who you want to believe. We have <a href="https://ymlps9.com/175dfewjhuapaehyquafajejaraujbuy/click.php">this report from</a> Investmentblog.com that indicates that when you go to donate to Black Lives Matter you are redirected to Act Blue’s page where you make your tax free donation. You see not all of BLM is tax free. By going through Act Blue all the money is donated tax free. It also indicates that Act Blue is basically ran by the Democratic Party. You know the same group of politicians that have been supporting all these senseless riots all summer long.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">You then may look at it through this way. We found <a href="https://ymlps9.com/91941ewjheaiaehyquagajejaoaujbuy/click.php">this informative article</a> from the Capital Research Center. It is highly informative and well worth your time to open and read the link. Quoting from the article <em>“As InfluenceWatch explains, ACTBLUE is a service for left wing groups and Democratic Politicians to fundraise without setting up an online donation infrastructure themselves. Money passes through ActBlue to the ultimate recipient and ActBlue collects a fee as payment. This also has the added effect of obscuring the ultimate recipient, since money passing through ActBlue looks like a donation to ActBlue-not to, say, Black Lives Matter.</em></div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Those two paragraphs basically explain it all. Black Lives Matter and Act Blue are operating a criminal enterprise at the behest of the Democratic party. We must ask why? We must also ask if the one Democratic Representative that we have in Washington D.C. is aware of how corrupt and how much crime that this group has committed. Is she aware that some ill-gotten money may have made it into her campaign. If so, what does she intend to do about it.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We looked at only three pages of the Federal Election Commissions Report from Representative Kendra Horn. We see only one problem with them. There were several people and organizations from out of state listed there. What is really concerning were all the funds transferred to her campaign funds from the Group Act Blue. How much of these funds were legitimate donations and how much of it were fees collected by Act Blue for the money laundry business they are conducting with various criminal organizations? Would you want to have links to a possible criminal enterprise?</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Now Congresswoman Horn is proving to be living up to her campaign promise. She did say she would change things in D.C., and she is. Instead of making thoughtful votes that will affect all Oklahomans and in fact the entire nation. This has been proven <a href="https://ymlps9.com/69975ewjhmalaehyquanajejafaujbuy/click.php">by this report in the</a> local news and many more like it.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We had taken notice of the fact that Representative Horn had been in the area a lot more frequently than the other Representatives from the state and we began to wonder why. We did a little research and found <a href="https://ymlps9.com/5a061ewjhjakaehyquagajejaxaujbuy/click.php">this rollcall vote</a> in the House of Representatives that gave them the right for a proxy vote. For all of you living in the 5<sup>th</sup> Congressional District I must ask, how does it feel to know that the person that you elected to represent you is allowing someone else to do it that you don’t even know.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Now it seems that Representative Horn is in a tough fight. There is a dark money group out there running an advertisement saying she got $5 million tax dollars to help with her campaign. We could not find a record on it and from the look of things she is not doing much with it. We found <a href="https://ymlps9.com/5f1b2ewjhbavaehyquadajejataujbuy/click.php">this report</a> in the MuskogeePolitico.com that indicates that her challenger is far outraising campaign contributions. We watched a site the other day that we knew played campaign commercials from dark money groups supporting both of their campaigns and found that her opponent was running almost a hundred to six adds.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We next went to <a href="https://ymlps9.com/1ff39ewjhhataehyquaiajejaxaujbuy/click.php">www.votesmart.org</a> to see what information they had available on her. We had previously reported that she was not a newcomer to D.C. politics. But what we found in her work history is very disturbing. In a previous article we had informed you of her work as a lobbyist while she worked simultaneously for Congressman Brad Carson. This has become even worse.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Congresswoman Horn needs to explain to the people of Congressional District Five why we are paying her roughly $174,000.00 a year to represent us in Washington and yet she has gone out and gotten a job as a Senior Consultant, At The Mettise Group and has remained in her position as a Strategic Consultant. Amatra, Limited Liability Company. Why hasn’t she been working for us?</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We found the following information on the Biography page of Project VoteSmart. This will help you understand the reasoning for the above paragraph. Congresswoman Horn sits on the following committees and subcommittees:</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Armed Services</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Science, Space and Technology</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Subcommittee on Energy</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Subcommittee on Readiness</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Chair, Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Subcommittee on Strategic Forces</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1in; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Congresswoman Horn’s work history is as follows:</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Senior Consultant, The Mettise Group, 2018-present</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Strategic Consultant, Amatra, Limited Liability Company, 2009-present</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">Executive Director, Sally’s List Incorporated, 2015-2017</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0.21in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Campaign Manager, Joe Dorman for Oklahoma, 2014</span></span></span></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0.21in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Studio Manager/Teacher/Program Lead, CorePower Yoga, 2009-2012</span></span></span></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0.21in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Director of Marketing and Congressional Relations, WP Aerospace, 2008-2009</span></span></span></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0.21in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Director/Communications and Manager/Government Affairs, Space Foundation, 2005-2008</span></span></span></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0.21in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Press Secretary, United States Congressman Brad Carson 2004-2005</span></span></span></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0.21in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">What is not listed is the fact that while she worked for Congressman Carson, she also worked as a lobbyist for the military industrial complex.</span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">We next went to the vote section to look up one vote. You can find that section <a href="https://ymlps9.com/51a20ewjhwavaehyquaxajejaoaujbuy/click.php">by opening this link</a>. The vote we were looking for was her vote on the use of proxy votes during this current plandemic. We wanted to know if she was willing to give the voice of the Fifth Congressional District away to someone the constituents did not know. Well we would recommend <a href="https://ymlps9.com/7580aewjhqaiaehyquavajejaiaujbuy/click.php">that you open this link</a> and read it for yourself. You will find that she has chosen to let someone else vote for her. We even went as far as to look up the Clerk of the House Roll Call vote on the matter for verification. You can look for yourself <a href="https://ymlps9.com/5a061ewjhjakaehyquagajejaxaujbuy/click.php">by opening this link</a>. This is beyond ridiculous.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">The only thing that Representative Horn has said that indicates she would want to work for the people of Oklahoma was said after former Vice President Biden was caught lying about stopping the use of fracking. She tweeted “here’s one of the places Biden and I disagree. We must stand up for our oil and gas industry.”</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<em>We need an all-of-the-above energy approach that’s consumer friendly, values energy independence and protects OK jobs. I’ll keep fighting for that in Congress.”</em> We think most of the state is still waiting for her to start.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </div><p>In closing all we can say is in 2018 those in District five had a hard choice to make. Here she was making promises to change the way things were done. She did too. She changed from things going the Republicans way to things going the Democratic socialist way. We can pretty much bet that that was not the change you were looking for. She needs to go but her challenger is not much better. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342115318170826175.post-86678453409224542082020-08-31T02:07:00.006-05:002020-08-31T02:07:49.321-05:00The Lankford Follies<div class="separator"><h2 style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="218" src="https://ymlpmail3.net/imgz/ye74_lankford1.jpg" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; height: 218px; user-select: none; width: 326px;" unselectable="on" width="326" /></h2></div><p> </p><div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><strong>WELCOME TO THE LANKFORD FOLLIES. </strong></div><div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><strong>YOU SHOULD BE GLAD HE ISN’T RUNNING THE STATE GOP</strong></div><div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><strong>THE WATCHMAN</strong></div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">When people elect a person to represent them in the U.S. House or Senate, we expect them to represent us fully despite their individual personal believes especially during the times of a national crisis. When they allow their own beliefs to interfere with the welfare of the people, they represent then other elements are involved. It could be just their own beliefs, or it could be money for their next campaign. That is not what we are here to decide. This article is on some of the various ways that Senator Lankford has made critical errors that do not represent the values of Oklahomans.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">We begin with <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/7da3bewebqavaehyejafamyhagaujbuy/click.php">this video</a> from July 3<sup>rd</sup> of this year where he is walking back a previous statement he made about getting rid of Columbus day. We are not going to argue the point with him except to say both him and all of those arguing for getting rid of it leave one particularly important fact out. There is scientific evidence that the Vikings discovered America a few centuries before Columbus.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">We next found this article where Senator Lankford criticized the President on the way he separated children from parents. You can read <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/864f8ewebyaxaehyejafamyhacaujbuy/click.php">the article here.</a> It seems to us that anyone with any cursory idea of the situation would realize that the family separation policy was initiated by the Obama administration. It happened while Senator Lankford was in office. Maybe he should study some of the last administrations directives to give him a better understanding.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">We next went to <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/7da3bewebqavaehyejafamyhagaujbuy/click.php">this site</a> and looked at his Wikipedia page. There is a lot of good information on this page. You can get a lot of information on his background.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">We then found <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/49da8ewehsazaehyejalamyhanaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> that shows that the Senator is against gun control and raising taxes. Both those items we can agree with him on.<span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,serif;">We next found this <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/08eaaewehuataehyejaiamyhaxaujbuy/click.php">report card</a> for 2019 on the Senator. One would say it looks good, however after sending 27 bills to committees and only having one bill become law, it is not so good. He should be able to do better than that after nine years in D.C.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">We then came across <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/578c7eweheapaehyejadamyhazaujbuy/click.php">this report from</a> Open Secrets.org. This is a mish mash of personal and campaign finance reports. We will not validate the accuracy of these reports as the ranges indicated are far to wide to be accurate. We are aware of a better source but have chosen not to use it at this time.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">We know that Senator Lankford is a Social Justice Warrior. He always has been. He let that side of him come at in <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/51547ewehmavaehyejavamyhataujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from the New York Daily News where the Senator agreed with the radical leftist about changing the names of military bases named after Confederate Generals. We would suggest that the Senator read history more and he would find that those same Confederate Generals had illustrious careers in the Union Army prior to the Civil War. Do not ever change history to appease radicals.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">The next article we found is almost to the point of being idiotic. You can see the article by <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/11adfewehjaiaehyejaramyhalaujbuy/click.php">opening this link</a>. He is being called a celebrity. With all the appearances he makes on TV we guess he is. They estimate that his personal net worth is somewhere between $100 thousand and $1 million dollars. We reported in 2013 that his net worth had doubled to $225 thousand dollars. Surely, they could do better. They also indicated that he has a house in Texas. We are not sure if they are saying he lives there or not, but it is worth checking into.</div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,serif;">We next came across an article that proves that Senator Lankford is not working for the citizens of Oklahoma. One would think that during a pandemic or plandemic, whichever you choose to call it, and an 11% unemployment rate in the state, our Washington delegation would fight to keep jobs away from foreign workers if you would open <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/9e5e5ewehbaoaehyejalamyhalaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,serif;">this link</span></span></a> you will find a letter signed by seven Senators addressed to the President urging him not to cut the number of H-2A, H2B and H1B visas. We urge you to open the link and read the letter for yourself. We find it hard to believe that any of the Oklahoma Delegation would prefer foreign workers over the citizens of the state. There is only one reason and that is money.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </div><div style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">In closing it is evident that Senator Lankford has chosen his Social Justice Warrior crusade over the welfare of the residence of the state he was elected to represent. Major corporations seek these workers because of their skills, and they do not have to pay them as much. The Senator has overstayed his welcome in D.C. It is time for him to be retired.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342115318170826175.post-80376103423579363802020-06-09T01:12:00.003-05:002020-06-09T01:12:33.520-05:00THE GUN GRABBERS ALMANAC<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">There is no denying that racial tensions have been high across the nation for the last ten days or longer. What many of you miss is that it is also undeniable that this tension is being stoked and used for political gain. The combination of the two has turned into a deadly affair for many police officers, store owners and individual innocent civilians across this nation. We are now hearing an even deadlier tone from the crowds. A tone that would call for the complete anarchy in this country. A tone based on a narrative that is broadcast and published daily by the mainstream media, and sadly it is pure propaganda.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">For those of you who have not realized it yet, there is a massive power struggle going on in this country. It is not just between the Democrats and Republicans; it goes far beyond that. It is the deep desire to take guns away from ordinary citizens. That desire stems from an even deeper desire to control every aspect of your life. They do not want you to have liberty. They want you to do what you are told and shut up. Their biggest ally in their quest is the mainstream media. They will tell you what they want you to hear and not the truth in any matter.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We got interested in this subject because of all the turbulence in the country right now. What drew our attention to this particular story was <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/842d3ehyjeakaehqbuatawyqazaujbuy/click.php">this report on ABC</a>. <span style="text-decoration: none;">It indicates that there were 59 mass shootings in the month of May. The group they got their information from is a non-profit called GunViolenceArchive.org. The story itself is flawed. It links the shootings of Police Officers in separate incidents during the riots as a mass shooting with nothing to substantiate it. It also lists a shooting of three individuals, as sad as that is, when the group uses a standard of four to classify it as a mass shooting. How does the network justify its fraudulent use of this data?</span></span></span></div>

The one item that they track that puzzled us was the “Gun Show Loopholes.” With several staff members attending these gun shows and making purchases throughout the many years they have been in business; we fail to understand why they would track a completely mythical subject. If you purchase a weapon you still must complete the background checks that are required by state and federal law. It is tracking false information like this that anti-gunners repeatedly use to try and take lawfully owned weapons away from individuals.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><em><span style="text-decoration: none;">“That phrase-“use of force”- is what leads me to believe that they refuse to include any DGU (Defensive Gun Use) that does not involve a shot being fired. Even their own results page backs this up, where every DGU includes shots being fired. Not every defensive gun use ends with someone being shot, and that is where the inherent bias in the data starts to become apparent. Not every DGU requires a shot to be fired. And even by the most Conservative estimates, there are more than 100,000 annual defensive gun uses.”</span></em><span style="text-decoration: none;"> Yet politicians and the mainstream media repeatedly use these numbers when calling for more gun control. This is a fine example of garbage in and garbage out.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">How dangerous are these protesters? For the most part, most of them are protesting peacefully. There are agitators mixed in among them who are inciting the actual riots. The single most talked about group is Antifa. Folks, you really need to open <a href="https://ymlpmail3.net/95b69ehyjyagaehqbuaoawyqanaujbuy/click.php">this link and watch this chilling</a> video. Do not sit back and think that they have just formed because President Trump was elected, because you will just be fooling yourself.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In conclusion it is apparent that this election year some politicians are caving to the desires of radical liberals just to get their vote. Contrary to what media, politicians and most of the do-nothing Hollywood types want you to believe, there is no genocide of African Americans being conducted by the Police.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So far this year, 172 white people versus 88 black people have been killed by police. Moreover, there is no evidence to support the thesis that the killings of Floyd and Taylor were motivated by racism, at least none has been brought to light yet, though some evidence has emerged in the Arbery’s case. Peaceful protest we can support, but when you start destroying, looting and burning you are then a criminal.</span></span></div>

We have always known that politics has always been a dirty business. If you ever wanted to know what was happening all you needed to do was follow the money. There was a time when influence was bought by corporations using their own money but now, here in Oklahoma, they have found a way to use the taxpayer's money to buy that influence. We honestly thought things could not get much worse, and thankfully, for this year anyway, they did not.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now as usual towards the end of any legislative session bills are submitted that are of the offensive nature to many citizens. One such bill was brought to our attention by this article from the MuskogeePolitico.com. This piece of legislation that started out as a simple modification of what can and cannot be done with campaign contributions was successfully passed by the House of Representatives. The version of the bill they passed was to serve a legitimate purpose. We have no problems with the House of Representatives version as passed.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those of you who would want to know how they voted in the House on this bill we provide you with this link to how they voted in the House. We also provide you with the version that passed the House and was sent to the Senate for their consideration at this link. We encourage you to read it and we feel confident that you will find little flaw in the bill.</div>
</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Where the problem arose was when the legislation was sent to the Senate Appropriations Chairman and his committee for review and consideration. The Chairman of the committee tried to insert an amendment to the legislation that would have allowed politicians to use their campaign funds for personal use. This was so repugnant that even the press raised enough complaints to have it removed. We fear that we have not heard the end of this bill.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bill did not pass the Senate, so it has in effect died. The next session of the legislature will be an entire new legislature with many changes we fear. There is a chance that something like this will be inserted into a piece of legislation somewhere along the line. It is something that every liberty loving individual in the state must be prepared to look for. Rest assured that we will do our part.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the most interesting items that we have found during this entire pandemic episode has been another example of the willingness of leadership to violate the Constitution. The idea of a proxy vote is beyond believe. How can you ever have a quorum by using a proxy vote. Yet we know that our legislators pay little heed to our own state constitution. We know that because they must bring up a vote for a state constitutional convention every twenty years. The last convention was held in 1974. .</div>

"No convention shall be called by the Legislature to propose alterations, revisions, or amendments to this Constitution, or to propose a new Constitution, unless the law providing for such convention shall first be approved by the people on a referendum vote at a regular or special election, and any amendments,<br />
alterations, revisions, or new Constitution, proposed by such convention, shall be submitted to the electors of the State at a general or special election."<br />
</blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So many items raised by this legislative session and pandemic go unanswered that it is time to call for a vote for a State Constitutional Convention. It is time that the power be returned to the people after a thirty-six-year reign of terror elected officials</div>

Many people in this nation feel that politicians turn a death ear to those they are supposed to serve. Politicians in turn do not understand why their constituents are not pleased with their performance. Those of us who study politics wonder why if people are so unhappy about their performance why they keep voting for them. What is particularly troubling is when they allow something to happen during a fiscal shortfall and claim there was nothing, they could do to stop it. The only people they are fooling are themselves.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What brought our attention to this story was this article from News Channel 9. Now here we are in the middle of a pandemic, thousands of people unemployed, scraping to get buy and our alleged leaders who are supposed to work for us are giving themselves a 35% pay raise. Have they earned it, not in our book. Do they deserve it? No way in hell. Could it have been stopped? Yes, if they had wanted to. If there was ever a reason to vote people out of office this is it. It appears that they feel that just because tax revenue is down, and the state's budget has been cut that they deserve a pay raise.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In fairness, your elected officials never voted for this raise. They never voted against it either. You see there is the Board on Legislative Compensation that sets the pay for these part time employees. Who are these board members, well frankly we do not know. We can tell you that according to this article they figured out a shifty way to lay the blame on someone else. According to the article, “In order to regulate compensation paid to the Legislature, the Oklahoma Constitution creates the Board on Legislative Compensation. The board shall be composed of five members appointed by the Governor, two members appointed by the President Pro Tem of the Senate, and two members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The members appointed by the Governor must be from religious organizations, communications media, non-state supported educational institutions, labor organizations, and retail business. The members appointed by the President Pro Tem of the Senate shall be from agricultural and civic organizations and the members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall be from manufacturing and from professional fields not otherwise specified.” Now folks, this is nothing more than a con game being played on the citizens of this state. This allows for the legislators to get away with not having to vote on whether they get a pay raise or not. They simply place people on the board who they know will give them a pay raise and that is it. It is money in their pockets.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now we are not the only ones to take notice of this obscene pay raise they gave themselves. We found this editorial from the Tahlequah Daily Press. They have correctly pointed out that the raise is 35.6% pay raise. The article is well worth your time to read and we urge you to do so. We want to highlight portions of the article that really grabbed our attention. Quoting the article “Right now, the average lawmaker-that is, one not in a major leadership position- rakes in a base salary of $35,021, plus 63 days of expense money, a benefit allowance, and a generous retirement contribution. The package amounts to nearly $55,000 a year, on the taxpayer's back. Contrast that with the median household income in</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Oklahoma, which often includes two wage-earners putting in a full year's work: $52,000 in 2018.” A pay raise for these part time employees in a year when the budget has failed is beyond stupidity.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The actual decision to raise their pay was made by the Legislative Compensation Board in October of 2019. We found this article from the Associated Press on the pay raise. It does mention that the citizens were not pleased with the legislature in 2017 and they did get an 8.8% cut in their pay. With a new Governor and a new legislative session, a new board was appointed. Now we do not know who all the board members are, but the Chairman of the Board is a Mr. Wes Wilbourn. He is in the broadcast media business. Then there was this article from the Lost Ogle. This too was from October of 2019. Now it is a little sarcastic, and is meant to be, but we urge you to read it. In it he highlights two individuals on the board, a land developer, and a journalist, who just do not seem to understand even the basics of Oklahoma Politics. We urge you to open the link and read the article for yourself. One of the sections of the article we will highlight says, “Wow. Can you believe it?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The local land developer who has a lot to gain by giving politicians a 35-percent pay raise voted to give politicians a 35-percent pay raise. That kind of makes me miss the good old days when businessmen and other power brokers had to use their own money to win political favor. Now they just have the taxpayers’ foot the bill!” Folks that is exactly what it looks like. We can predict fee increases and tax increases to dominate legislation next year.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now the next time you talk to a legislator about this, they will tell you that there was nothing that they could do to stop it. These guys will try to sell you beach front property in the Rocky Mountains too.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
They either unknowingly or unwittingly proved that it could have been stopped themselves. You see, there is also a Judicial Compensation Board. They had asked for a 4 percent pay raise. They are not going to get it. We found this article about the fuss that was being made over giving them a pay raise. In fact, the Judicial Compensation Review Board now must give their recommendations to the legislature for approval before a pay raise can be given. They did pass a law for that. The simple act of denying the judicial pay raise is proof that they could have stopped the horrendous pay raise they gave themselves.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It is time for this state to move out of the dark ages of unaccountable un-elected self-serving political appointed boards to decide on pay matters. It is time to move many subjects out of the hands of the incompetent, money grabbing twerps called legislators and put it back into the hands of the people. There should be legislation proposed that all legislative and judicial pay raises be subject to the approval of a vote of the people. There should be legislation that puts all rate and fee increases up to a vote of the people. The failure to stop this unearned pay raise is cause for the ouster of every sitting elected official at the state capital.</div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this current pandemic we find ourselves in there are many rumors and tall tales of what is actually going on. Strange things are even happening in politics when you have two staunch anti- President Trump governors actually praising the president for all of the effort and assistance that is being put in to fight this illness.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So much is being said about this issue that it’s hard to know what the truth is and what is fiction. Those of us who do this everyday have a hard time distinguishing the truth from fiction. This story is about such a case. We will leave it to our readers to form their own opinion.</div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the very start of this story we will divulge that I have had an alleged patent for the Corona virus in our possession for about two weeks now. Try as I might I have been unable to verify that the patent exist and therefore we have considered it to be one of the many rumors going around on the subject.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We started our research for this story by going through several search engines to see if they had a patent listed for the Corona virus. There are many entries on the subject, but most of them are either this article will prove inconclusive or just plain unbelievable. We did find <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/07c09ehhwwaoaehwwbavaebhafaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> that seemed to have a little bit more information that sounded factual. Now the author does spew a few conspiracy theories out in the article, but the basic information coincided with other information we have received. It is well worth the read.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The article that brought this subject to our attention was <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/60d6aehhwqagaehwwbaraebhaoaujbuy/click.php">this article in the</a> State of The Nation. The individual mentioned, Professor Francis Boyle, is who he claims to be. He did in fact write the U.S. Biowarfare Act. That would be the law that makes it against the law for the United States to engage in Biological Warfare.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before we went further, we did check on the Professor to see if what he was saying was true. We found this <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/17999ehhwyagaehwwbacaebhalaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> in Wikipedia. He is everything he claims to be. That in itself is deserving of some attention being paid to what he says.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The article in State of the Nation indicates that the professor has found a “smoking gun” that will prove this article that the Chinese purchased the lab sample of the virus from the University of North Carolina for research purposes. He further claims that the United States was aware of it.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Where it gets dangerous though, is he further states that he has the evidence to prove that the virus was weaponized by someone, presumably the Chinese. There is a facility outside of Wuhan, China that is a biological warfare study laboratory for the Chinese.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is at this point that we must advise our readers that the original source on this story is not considered to be one of the most reliable sources in the world. The only reason we wanted to write this story was so that we could give our readers an idea of some of the information you don’t hear about is like. As we have said, we have an unverified patent number for the virus. That is another example of misleading information that is being passed around.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In closing we can only ask that you take what you hear and try to research it. It may be true, and it may be false information. To our readers we ask that you be diligent and take all the necessary precautions. This is a serious illness and it’s not under control yet. We wish you good health and good luck. We will keep you up to date.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the midst of the worst health crisis this nation has ever faced, the nation is struggling. Our government at all levels are taking extraordinary measures to help the citizens of this nation. Yet we look and see a nation in chaos. There is a simple reason for that. It is the lack of leadership from a vast majority of the alleged leaders at all levels of government. The news media is out there preaching the word of this being Armageddon when it’s not. There are far too many supposedly responsible elected officials and news agencies, from international to local, who are not being responsible when telling of the tale of this virus. We present to you a few highlights of their mis-adventures.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We will begin by putting before you what we feel is perhaps the most correct and important article reported since the outbreak started. The article <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4abb3ehhhuazaehwwbazaebhaaaujbuy/click.php">which you can see here</a>, states, and we’ll quote “<em>The world’s leaders need to first and foremost calm people down,”</em>. That, in our opinion, is the most profound and important statement made by anyone during this entire catastrophe. Leaders stop scaring people and start leading them.</div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s hard to tell with all the hype about the coronavirus in the news out there, but there is news about the virus that doesn’t get reported. We found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/394feehhheaxaehwwbadaebhadaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , serif;">this article</span></span></a><span style="text-decoration: none;"> that describes one such under-reported story. Now we know this story to be true simply because this medication, chloroquine, is all that they are using in Great Britain to treat the virus and they are having some good success. This medication is a relatively common, inexpensive anti-malarial medication.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then came across <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/6208dehhhmazaehwwbazaebhataujbuy/click.php">this interesting article</a>. This is an interactive map. Just click on the state you are interested in and it will pull up the current status of the virus in that state. We would recommend that you keep a copy of this map and you’ll the ability to see how it is spreading.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">Now there are other agencies out there trying to let you know what they are doing to help fight this pandemic. If you are interested in any particular agency’s response we would recommend that you go </span><a href="https://ymlptr3.net/3a0c3ehhhjaoaehwwbapaebhanaujbuy/click.php">to this site</a><span style="text-decoration: none;"> and go down the page to see if you can find the agency you are looking for. It may just save you some time.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">We then came across this </span><a href="https://ymlptr3.net/58917ehhhbalaehwwbalaebhaaaujbuy/click.php">this recommendation</a><span style="text-decoration: none;"> from the CDC. This actually sounds like good advice. We would recommend that people should follow it.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now there are many shenanigans going on by our supposed leaders. We are going to describe a few to you. We’ll begin with the story found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/5e275ehhhhaoaehwwbanaebhaiaujbuy/click.php">this link</a>. It seems that at least five Senators, four Republicans and one Democrat. That includes our own Senator Jim Inhofe. This is insider trading. For those of us that are not elected to office, it is a criminal action, but the congress has made it legal for those in power. Making profit off the nation’s misery is shameful.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then there is <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/99439ehhhwakaehwwbalaebhanaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from Sky News. The cities of New York and Los Angeles have closed all venues for movies, dining, sports and others. Other states are taking less drastic measures but are still limiting the number of people that can gather at one spot. Restaurants are closed to dine in service but may provide drive thru service in some states.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/50d87ehhhqacaehwwbakaebhavaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from the Center for Strategic Studies. It indicates that the energy flow, oil, has been disrupted. The virus has in fact had an effect on the energy flow. We find that the study is flawed in one aspect. There is no mention of the current oil war being waged by Saudi Arabia and Russia. That conflict between the two oil and gas giants needs to be considered.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now we all know that liberals never fail to take advantage of a good crisis. An example of an attempt to take such an advantage was <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/0be65ehhhyaxaehwwbataebhadaujbuy/click.php">in this story</a> from USA Today. The proposal was to release inmates from prison because they stood the risk of catching the virus. Their chances are no greater than any American’s chances. This was a couple of social justice warriors trying to make a name for themselves.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , serif;">We also have found cases of elected officials abusing their authority. We found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/0e13behhwsalaehwwbapaebhaoaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> <span style="text-decoration: none;">from Breitbart where the Mayor of one city has basically used an executive order to remove citizens second amendment rights. She happens to be a Democrat.</span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">

Now multiple left leaning fact checking sites are saying she did not. We gave you the information so you could decide for yourself.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the more humorous post coming from any agency has to be <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/0dceeehhweakaehwwbadaebhaaaujbuy/click.php">this article from</a> Oklahoma’s own Guthrie News page. The title of the article says it all. <em>“Guthrie Police suspend all criminal activity within city limits”</em> Now if you really need a laugh just open this article and read it. You know this was done to ease the minds of the citizens of that town.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now after weeks of delays, Speaker Pelosi held up a vote on a Corona virus bill so her party could run ads against Republicans on Super Tuesday, a step was finally taken to help the American Public. We found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/40ffcehhwmagaehwwbaaaebhapaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> in the Rushmore Daily that shows the President signing a multi-billion dollar bill that will affect every American. Finally help is on the way.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were a little relieved when we <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/73f53ehhwjaaaehwwbapaebhaoaujbuy/click.php">read this article</a>. At least at this point, and at the time of writing of this article, the President was not considering a national quarantine. For now, that’s good news. Two governors in states highly effected by the virus have had to take more drastic actions.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We found a bit of disturbing information <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/81e1eehhwbataehwwbakaebhaoaujbuy/click.php">in this article</a>. It seems that although the virus is more lethal to the elderly population around twenty percent (20%) of all hospitalizations for the virus are from the 20 to 44 age group. That would indicate that all those students who decided to take their spring break in Florida, despite the warning, are in more danger than they thought. Typical millennials though.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, after all the hype and all the misleading information that the public has been told, there is a glimmer of hope that we found in <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/55e44ehhwhaxaehwwbagaebhapaujbuy/click.php">this report</a>. Washington state, ground zero for this virus, has started to make a bend on the number of new cases. In short, the case load has started to level out. If this is true, and not just a false report, we may be at the beginning of the road to recovery.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To our readers we ask that you take all the precautions that are recommended. Be safe and stay healthy. To the state legislature, proxy voting doesn’t qualify as representing the people. Have you guys ever heard of Skype? Try it. It would be better than a proxy vote</div>

<div>
<div dir="LTR" id="article-content">

</div>
</div>
<div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>A LESSON ON GIVING AWAY YOUR VOTE:</strong></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>ARE OUR LEGISLATORS REALLY THIS IGNORANT</strong></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">We sometimes wonder why those we elect to represent us make such bad decisions. We always seem to send highly educated individuals to offices to represent us and we assume that because of their education that they are intelligent. That is the mistake the voters will make time and again. Just because they have a degree beside their name doesn’t mean they have the one vital element to make them intelligent. That one vital element is common sense. Ladies and gentlemen, it is glaringly absent in the Chamber of the Oklahoma State Senate and we shall show that here tonight.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">What prompted our look into this story was an article from the <a href="http://www.muskogeepolitico.com/">www.muskogeepolitico.com</a> which you can <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/65e20ehbwuanaehwhwavaeeqadaujbuy/click.php">read here</a>. Now there has been an attempt to get an Article 5 Convention of the States ongoing for several years now. We don’t consider even the remote possibility that they have the right to do so. What we question is the political climate in which they want to bring one up. We doubt that anyone would disagree that these are politically dangerous times in our great nation. We ask is it really the time to bring an untested, untried format of changing our Constitution to a convention where the only guidance given is that the Congress shall call for it? We think not.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">We can’t begin to understand why, but the Oklahoma State Senate chose to word it’s resolution, which you can <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4a12behbweapaehwhwataeeqavaujbuy/click.php">see here</a>, in a way that covers one topic. We agree that it is a serious topic, but there are other equally serious topics that need to be addressed. They rightfully indicated that such resolutions have been passed by one side of the legislature or another since 1976. We must ask why they are taking such a dangerous action at this time.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">We know that the state Senate is capable of using a little common sense. They proved that when they decided not to take up SB-13, as reported <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4fcf9ehbwmacaehwhwavaeeqadaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. Although we supported this legislation, it would have cost the state millions in legal fees to defend it. With the subject being heard at the U. S. Supreme Court in the near future, it was prudent to wait until their decision before making the step in this direction for now.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Now many of you may ask what a Convention of the States is. Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution allows for the amendment of the Constitution through two ways. We found </span><a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4b850ehbwjalaehwhwaaaeeqaaaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">this</span></span></a><span style="text-decoration: none;"> explanation in Wikipedia. It is by far an accurate description. It simply states </span><em><span style="text-decoration: none;">“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by Congress, provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article, and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.”</span></em></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #00000a;">As you can see, the Congress of the United States still has a modicum of control over any Convention of the States. As bitter and divided as we are as a nation right now, how do you think that will turn out.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">We went looking for what was behind the call for a Convention of the States and found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/910fcehbwbaoaehwhwafaeeqaiaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">this article</span></span></a> from the New York Times. It’s a convincing article saying the resurgence of the Republican Party was driving the movement forward. We found that to be only partially true. The financing behind it was coming from primarily liberal organizations. Where they touched upon the truth was in the article where they stated <em>“But as the groups near their goal, critics and some skeptical constitutional scholars are warning that holding an amendment writing meeting with no historical parallel and no written rules could open a Pandora’s box of constitutional mischief.”</em> They are correct. Who truly knows what would happen in a Convention of the States.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">There is another item closer to home that cause us to question the intellect of the Oklahoma State Senate. That is Article 24 Section 2 of the Oklahoma State Constitution. It reads as follows “Constitutional Convention to Propose Amendments or New Constitution <em>No convention shall be called by the legislature to propose alterations, revisions, or amendments to this Constitution, or to propose a new Constitution, unless, the law providing for such convention shall be approved by the people on a referendum vote at a regular or special election, and any amendments, alterations, revisions, or new Constitution, proposed by such convention, shall be submitted to the electors of the state at a general or special election and approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon, before the same shall become effective: Provided, That the question of such proposed convention shall be submitted to the people at least once every twenty years.”</em></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Now we do recall the last time the question was put to the vote of the people. That was way back in 1974. We don’t have a lot of trust in the integrity and intelligence of a group of overpaid part time employees who demand to be called Senators to lead us into something like a Convention of the States when they clearly haven’t got the foggiest idea what their own state Constitution says.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">A Constitutional Convention is an unproven mechanism for changing the Constitution. Contrary to what organizers believe, the Congress still holds sway. If you look at delegates, the liberal states will have far more delegates than others. Now is not the time to pick a fight we won’t win. If you enjoy your freedom and your liberty, call your House member and have him vote no on Senate Joint Resolution 41.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We are not going to sugar coat anything here. We all know that politics is a dirty business. We all like to think that when we donate to the campaign of any politician that he cannot be bought by special interest groups. Sadly, that is often not the case. Many elected officials have their campaigns financed by those special interest groups with the idea of influencing the vote of the elected official. Far too many times they are successful.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What brought our attention to this subject was <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/1cd3aehbuuapaehwjyaoawsbazaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> to the editor of the on-line news publication <strong>SoonerPolitics.org. </strong>The individual raised some very valid questions that needed to be investigated. So we did.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The very first thing we did was find the definition of what a conflict of interest is. Wikipedia has a definition that covers several areas. You can read their entire definition by opening <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/20a98ehbueataehwjyarawsbaaaujbuy/click.php">this link</a>. The area we found to be most appropriate in this situation stated, and we’ll quote <em>“The presence of conflict of interest is independent of the occurrence of inappropriateness. Therefore, a conflict of interest can be discovered and voluntarily defused before any corruption occurs. A conflict of interest exist if the circumstances are reasonably believed (on the basis of past experience and objective evidence) to create a risk that a decision may be unduly influenced by other, secondary interest, and not whether a particular individual is actually influenced by a secondary interest.”</em></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The individual we are talking about is State Senator Greg McCortney (R), Ada. He is currently serving the last year of his first term as Senator. We started by going to his official biography page located <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/50555ehbumaraehwjyaiawsbanaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. There wasn’t a lot of information here, which is typical of those in the Senate, but there was enough there to answer a few questions we had.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What we found was that he is not a chair of any committee, or he at least is not listed as such. Where the conflict of interest arises is in his position of being a member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services and as the Vice-Chair of the Health and Human Services Committee. Where the conflict arises is in his business. It seems that Senator McCortney runs an in-home care business as you can see <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/2b026ehbujazaehwjyapawsbazaujbuy/click.php">here</a>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Now please don’t get the idea that he is treating patients himself. We found no evidence to say that he was. However, being in a business that does profit by treating the ills that others have, he does stand to make a profit from any legislation that becomes law coming out of those two committees.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In seeking out additional information on Senator McCortney we went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4f120ehbubaraehwjyaiawsbapaujbuy/click.php">www.votesmart.org</a>. We started by looking at his biography page which you can find at <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/0987behbuhadaehwjyadawsbanaujbuy/click.php">this link</a>. There was really no additional information available that we didn’t already have.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We next went to the voting section <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4472eehbuwagaehwjyaaawsbaaaujbuy/click.php">located here</a>. His record is indicative of every Social Justice Warrior. Instead of doing the right thing and addressing a problem that has existed for decades, they take the easy way out and punish the law-abiding citizens by putting criminals back on the streets sooner. Why does the legislative body continue to ignore the problem?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We next went to the political courage test. It would appear that he has none. You can see his answers to this questionnaire at <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/286dcehbuqazaehwjyagawsbaxaujbuy/click.php">this link</a>. As you can see, he failed to respond to any of the questions. This allows him to tailor his response to the audience he is speaking to at the time. In other words he has a fixed position on a subject he just doesn’t want those who vote for him to know what it is.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We next went to the candidate evaluations page <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/11af7ehbuyanaehwjyaaawsbadaujbuy/click.php">found here</a>. Listed below is a partial example of what we found.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As you can tell from the ratings, Senator McCortney is no Conservative at all. He would feel right at home in the Democratic Party.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We next looked at the campaign finance section of the report. Now there is no denying the fact that there are numerous individual donors to the Senators campaign, but there is also no denying that there are numerous special interest groups who donated to his campaign. You can see that report <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/93827ehbesazaehwjyadawsbadaujbuy/click.php">at this link</a>. We took it a step further.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Be cause of the serious possibility of a conflict of interest being suspected, we went to the Oklahoma Ethics Commission at <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/77b4aehbeuaiaehwjyalawsbakaujbuy/click.php">this link</a> to see what was available. The first item that we noted was that the Senator followed what is becoming a common practice among politicians by not closing his 2016 campaign financials until October 12, 2018. He did make the required reports and yes there are numerous special interest groups listed on the reports for which he sits on committees that make decisions about. They also affect his private business.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We also found that he opened his run for re-election in January of 2019. He has complied with the reporting requirements and once again there are numerous individual donors to his campaign. Once again there are also numerous special interest groups for which he holds sway over the committees involved with decisions that affect them as well as his private business. We have listed a few from the first quarter below.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">His campaign reports from his 2016 campaign are riddled with special interest groups, a majority of which are related to the health industry. It holds true in his 2020 campaign as well. There is enough circumstantial evidence available here that indicates that Senator McCortney should never sit on any committee that deals with health-related issues. If asked, he can give his advice, but never should he be a member of the committee.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We must ask is Senator McCortney the only one to blame for this conflict of interest. The answer is no. Senator McCortney is primarily to blame. One would think that he would have enough decency to recuse himself on votes in these committees, but he has failed to do so. But he is not the one who made the committee assignments. Senate President Pro-tem Senator Greg Treat made the assignments and is also responsible for creating the opportunity for this very apparent conflict of interest to exist. This needs to be ended immediately.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">When the health and welfare of loved ones are at stake is no time to have someone trying to line his pockets at the expense of those that are sick and injured. We would recommend that Senator McCortney be relieved of his duties within the committees listed in this report. We further recommend that in the future the President pro-tem of the Senate pay closer attention to the civilian related jobs individuals do before assigning them to committees in order to decrease the possibility of the slightest hint of a conflict of interest.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">During the last few months many have turned their attention to the dog and pony show that was the impeachment of President Trump. It goes without saying that many newsworthy stories were overlooked during this time frame. Some people rely on these stories being overlooked at times like this so they simply can get away with a problem that developed, that was not of their own making. Sadly we have such a story tonight. It involves national and state politicians and parties, and stoops to criminal activity on several of the perpetrators. The saddest part of this story is, we offered them a platform from which they could show that they took the laws seriously and had corrected the situation and they chose to remain silent. We can remain silent no longer.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Our interest in this story was created by reading <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/63ae0ehjmjaoaehwebaiaubhaxaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> when it came in on our news feed. Frankly, we were surprised that this wasn’t covered by any major news organization that we could find a reference on. Now it becomes really disturbing when you look at all the various groups that are listed in the report and realize that many of those same groups are completely in the dark about this money being wrongfully and illegally donated to them. All they need to do is admit to it and take action to rid themselves of the funds.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">They’ve already admitted the funds came from a country in the middle east. Why is it that nobody in the Democratic Party wants to be held responsible for their actions. At first, they acted like they were going to act. They requested information and wanted to look into it. After their reaction we gave them the information and informed them that we had the amounts so we could be sure. We even gave them more time so they would have a chance to research and formulate a plan of action. When we were asked to call back, we did, and all of a sudden, no one is answering the phones or returning calls. They must have no intentions of doing the right thing and getting foreign money out of the campaigns for political office.</span></div>
</div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">We then found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/8cedcehjmhafaehwebavaubhaaaujbuy/click.php">this report</a> that really makes you wonder what they were trying to do during the alleged impeachment farse.

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">It seems like the embarrassment never ends. Just today we find <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/058ceehjmwataehwebafaubhagaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> on one of the individuals in this scheme that was also used as a witness in the Mueller investigation. It turns out he’s a convicted pedophile. That’s unacceptable.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">We must ask what has happened to the Democratic Party? They have spent the last year working on passing partisan legislation that they know will not get pass the Senate and trying to impeach the President of the United States for no provable crimes. Accepting money from foreign governments and then saying that the other party committed a crime by trying to stop corruption is just insane.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">For all you Democrats who read this I hope you remember the words of your revered substitute teacher during his first 100 days as president. “<em>elections have consequences, get over it.”</em></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">In closing we regrettably must ask that the Oklahoma State Ethics Commission and the Oklahoma Elections Commission take actions to ensure that all foreign moneys donated to all campaigns regardless of political affiliation be routed out and eliminated. We must further request that the Oklahoma Democratic Party and The Campaign for re-election of Congresswoman Horn both be looked at immediately.</span></div>

There are times when we have to sit here and wonder how people ever got passed their exams to be able to practice in the fields that they have chosen. Law is perhaps the most interesting of these fields of study and work, and one of the most expensive degrees to obtain. We must ask then why is it that so many attorneys seem to have such a limited understanding of Constitutional Law? The most commonly attacked Constitutional Right is the 2<sup>nd</sup> Amendment. There is no exception to that policy this year either. Below is listed several pieces of proposed legislation that are proposed which all violate the Constitutional rights of citizens. Yes, you will see names mentioned more than once. We are going to talk about the Red Flag Law proposed by Senator Boren. Much of what we will actually say applies to all the pieces of proposed legislation and should be remembered.</div>

We first went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/1ca74ehmyjavaehwuhavabweanaujbuy/click.php">this site</a> to see what the bill said. You can read the bill <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/73d3eehmybaiaehwuharabweanaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. The bill is crafted just like those in many other states. The fatal flaw with this bill and all those like it is the simple fact that it is devoid of providing any Constitutional rights to the accused. This boils down to as simple as I don’t like my neighbor and he has a gun. Before your neighbor knows it, he’s had all of his weapons confiscated ordered to court and he has no idea why. These types of laws just weaponize a restraining order.</div>

Now we aren’t going to deny that there should be something in place to protect real victims of abuse, rape, stalking and other such crimes, but that should be accompanied with police reports that are properly filed and the law enforcement officers who responded to the calls should be witnesses at the proceedings. There are no such protections for the accused in this bill.</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We wanted to know more about the individual who wrote this piece of legislation so we started by going to here biography page <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/9d337ehmyhaoaehwuhanabweanaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. There is some good information about her background there, but not enough to base any opinion on.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/9fb3eehmywapaehwuharabweataujbuy/click.php">www.votesmart.org</a> to see what information they had available. We started with her biography page which can be found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/206b0ehmyqataehwuharabweadaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. We will give her credit for one thing. There is more detailed information about her on this site than any politician or candidate that we have ever researched before. For that we thank her or her biographer for their openness.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">

</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We do our due diligence here. In order to get to know the individual better, we next went to the voting records section <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/2aeb3ehmyyataehwuhacabweagaujbuy/click.php">found here</a>. Now we do take into consideration that she has only been in an elected office for a brief period of time. There is enough information there to recognize that she is another social justice warrior who feels that criminals are punished to harshly and this piece of legislation she has offered indicates she doesn’t feel we citizens should defend ourselves. That thinking contradicts all logic and statistics.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to her ratings and endorsements page <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/98478ehjssanaehwuhadabweavaujbuy/click.php">found here</a>. She received two endorsements that were reported. One from a Union, the United Auto Workers and one from Sally’s List. She only received one rating as indicated below:</div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Those are indicative of pro-tax, pro-victim liberal numbers. It is very typical of the district she represents to send a liberal politician to office.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to her campaign finance reports <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/638a5ehjsuaraehwuhafabweapaujbuy/click.php">found here</a>. Although these were helpful, they were lacking information necessary to verify the time frame for accuracy. We were unable to tell if these were from her campaign for office in 2018 or the beginning of a re-election campaign. We knew we needed to look elsewhere.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to the Oklahoma Ethics Committee Guardian site to see what information was available there. It went into a lot more detail and did indicate several left leaning groups donating to her campaign. By far she was the largest donator to her own campaign. We found no contributions past November of 2018.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We don’t know if there was a donation to her campaign from the Bloomberg campaign or not. Frankly, it’s irrelevant. An individual who wants to buy the Presidency and turn the nation into another New York City is a man without morality. We do find it unacceptable that those that want to lead our state fail to do the basic research into matters that affect us all. A quick search would have found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/641e2ehjseafaehwuhakabwearaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from the Oklahoma Report concerning gun violence in Oklahoma. Quoting from the report <em>“In the last decade, an average of 589 Oklahomans died each year from guns. By far, the largest share of those deaths was from suicide, with an average of 405 Oklahomans who shot themselves from 2007 to 2016, according to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. An Average of 173 Oklahomans annually were victims of gun homicide in the same period.</em></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>However, the rate of gun deaths has been rising in Oklahoma. The state’s suicide rate from guns was 8.5 per 100,000 people in 2007; that increased to 12.7 per 100,000 people in 2016. And the homicide rate from guns rose to 5.9 per 100,000 people in 2016 up from 4.3 per 100,000 people in 2007.</em></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What they did not tell you was that during that same time period the number of beds available to treat those with mental and drug problems declined to a point that the state now has only 300 beds available to treat patients. This has crippled law enforcement and the judiciary’s ability to properly deal with these problems. A vast majority of those needing treatment are now sent to prison where they receive little to know treatment for their problem. Yet nowhere do you see a proposed piece of legislation to assist them.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Further research produced <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/89db4ehjsmaraehwuhagabweafaujbuy/click.php">this information</a> from the federal government. Listening to all these social justice warriors and reading all these anti-gun bills that have been proposed one would think that Oklahoma is one of the most dangerous places in the world for gun violence. Start looking at the facts and you will see that we are actually one of the safest states in the Union.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now we are inherently fair about our research. We found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/10b7fehjsjazaehwuhapabweavaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from the Gifford Law Center. We don’t hold much stock by it. Let’s face it, the former Congresswoman has a legitimate beef, but she and her husband lose the argument when they fail to disclose the disposition of the small arsenal the two of them owned at the time of the attempted assassination of the Congresswoman.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When a Presidential candidate and founder of a gun control group makes two visits to a state after an article such as <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/2c46cehjsbaaaehwuhavabweakaujbuy/click.php">this</a> appears in a major paper, one can’t help but wonder why all these anti-gun bills all of a sudden appear. The truth of the matter is, anyone that is walking around with armed security and claims to be anti-2<sup>nd</sup> amendment is doing so just to fool the public.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">

Many people say that Red Flag Laws violate the individual rights of the citizens. They do. We found no better description of those violations than in <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/88f53ehjshacaehwuhaaabweataujbuy/click.php">this article</a>. They not only violate the 2<sup>nd</sup> Amendment, they violate the 1<sup>st</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup>, 5<sup>th</sup>, 6<sup>th</sup>, and 7<sup>th</sup>. How could any licensed, practicing attorney, regardless of political affiliation, compose a piece of legislation that strips the citizens of this state or nation of the very rights that our forefathers fought a Revolution for.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over the last three years we have witnessed an ongoing battle to secure our southern border. The intensity of that battle has grown over the last year. Why does one political party, yes, the Democrats, seem so set in allowing everyone and their brother to enter this country legally or not. This is what we get from their insistence <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/86836ehjswavaehwuhapabweakaujbuy/click.php">more Americans</a> are killed by illegal aliens than by AR-15 rifles, yet the U.S. House passes legislation on guns that exempts gang members. Whose safety do they have in mind.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then they choose to completely ignore <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/35a79ehjsqaaaehwuhadabweazaujbuy/click.php">this piece</a> of evidence from the Washington Times. This completely contradicts their argument for more gun control. The headline reads <em><strong>“Murder rates drop as concealed carry permits soar”</strong></em> Why would anyone in their right mind want to ignore all the available information on any subject.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">

We are going to ask you to do two things right now. They are both hard things to do. The first is to place your shoes in those of a parent who has lost a child. The second is to place yourself into the boots of a combat veteran who has lost many friends. Both are tough, and we know that unless you’ve actually been in that situation, you will never understand the feeling. You will see where we are going with this in the next paragraph.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">

There is more than ample room for abuse of Red Flag Laws. We have been following a story out of Colorado of a case of such abuse. We can understand the pain that the mother of this young man is going through, but it doesn’t excuse what she has done. We urge each and everyone of you to open <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/3eb0dehjsyafaehwuhalabweaiaujbuy/click.php">this link</a> and follow the story.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In accordance with Constitutional Law 53</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Federal Constitution provides that the laws of the United States made in the pursuance thereof shall be the supreme law of the land, anything in the law or the constitution or the laws of any state contrary thereof notwithstanding. Therefore, an act of Congress, constitutionally passed within the limits of its authority, becomes a part of the supreme law of the land. Hence a state law is void if it is contrary to a valid act of Congress, since Congress clearly has the power to pre-empt state law.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Federal statutes operate essentially as part of the law of each state, and are as binding on its authorities and people as are its own local constitution and laws in the same manner as if they were embodied in the Federal Constitution, and are controlling over state constitution and statutory.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s a shame that a local newsletter has to bring out a point of law to a practicing attorney. One thinks that an attorney would be aware of such little items as this. We guess not. What this would mean is that regardless of whether or not the proposal passes and is signed, it is unenforceable due to its numerous violations of U.S. Constitutional Law. We are only surprised that such a case has not been made to the U.S. Supreme Court as of yet.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In closing we have only one suggestion to make. Instead of going after the law-abiding gun owners in the state of Oklahoma, why don’t you tackle the root of the problem. We’ve shown you where most gun deaths are suicides. Why not provide more beds for those in need of treatment. That has never been addressed. Why not address the illegal alien violence in the state. Oklahoma County is a sanctuary county. Why? So democrats can get more votes? You elected officials work for the people. We don’t work for you. Stop working for your special interest groups and work for the people who elected you for a change.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s face it folks. It’s the time of the year for the annual culling of legislation being offered by alleged good legislators who in reality are doing nothing more than paying back the people who paid for their campaigns. First up to get headlines were educators and former educators. What was their interest? They seem to feel that charter schools, particularly virtual charter schools are getting to much of the education dollar. That comes as no surprise. Both of the unions have been fighting against charter schools for years. They want those dollars for themselves.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We first caught wind of what was going on from <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4ccfcehmjjavaehwswakawumaiaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/66fd5ehmjbaxaehwswarawumaiaujbuy/click.php">www.OklahomaWatch.org</a>. We recognized a few of the names mentioned as being either educators or former educators. We really have no problem with that. It’s a noble profession.</div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The very next day we read <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/01c83ehmjhacaehwswazawumazaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from the <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/10e84ehmjwakaehwswadawumaaaujbuy/click.php">www.MuskogeePolitico.com</a> listing an additional legislator who has filed legislation concerning Charter Schools. This is when we decided to do a little investigation of our own. What we found was not good. The list of wrongdoing runs the length of a football field. Manipulations of investigations, Overlooking the true culprits in order to make a case against those that are innocent. Lawsuits and the Oklahoma State Attorney General were even involved. All this was done just so these weasels who call themselves politicians and educators would have a reference to stand on to support their legislation. All of this is straight out of Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals.” It’s enough to make you sick.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We guess these people think the rest of us are just plain stupid and would have forgotten all about this snafu they had over the investigation last summer. They should remember, it’s the age of electronics and records are easily found. Articles like <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/zHfMJCd">this one</a> that highlights the fake news frenzy and cover up of the real villain in this charade. What a joke these people are.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then there was this late report we <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/8b4f3ehmjyaaaehwswanawumavaujbuy/click.php">found here</a> from KFOR news where they once again specifically name Epic Charter Schools and a Senator involved in the investigation and pending lawsuit is making even more accusations. We shall quote from the article “<em>Some of these are request bills from superintendent board members,” Senator Sharp told News 4. “They are concerned about the amount of money that is being used for recruitment.”</em> Most of these bills actually look to regulate the existence of virtual charter schools out of existence because one single man has had his feelings hurt along with the teacher’s unions.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since we’ve already mentioned his name, we are going to start by presenting you with the Biography page for Senator Sharp <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/57218ehmbsafaehwswapawumaiaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. Right there beside his photograph he lists his occupation as a retired teacher. There was no indication of where or what grades he taught, but we know that being an educator is a trying yet rewarding career. We will give him credit for that. We can understand his concern over funding for every school seeing that he does sit on the Appropriations Subcommittee for Education. There begins the trouble though.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a sitting member of the Appropriations Subcommittee for Education his actions over the course of the last year have created a conflict of interest by the simple fact of being involved in a lawsuit against him by one of the schools, he would appropriate funds to. Recusing himself would not be an appropriate remedy as he would still be able to influence the budget coming from that committee.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He has submitted two bills for consideration. The first is SB 1100 which you can read at <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/77bcbehmbuanaehwswalawumakaujbuy/click.php">this link</a>. The bill is not to egregious and in fact most of the articles have already been in place. We must ask though, does every single brick and mortar school district get reviewed like this annually? The answer is no. Laying these added burdens to strictly charter schools is designed to add to their cost and drive them out of business.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second bill Senator Sharp submitted was SB 1153 which you can read at <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/272c2ehmbeacaehwswadawumacaujbuy/click.php">this link</a>. This bill is applied to all public, charter and virtual charter schools alike. We do have a problem with the effective date. We see no interest, upheaval in society or danger to the public safety that would necessitate that <em>“Section 2. This act shall become effective July 1, 2020. Section 3. It being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health or safety, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, by reason whereof this act shall take effect and be in full force from and after it’s passage and approval.”</em> The only emergency we can see is getting you off that committee so you can stop harassing some of the only places where our children are educated and not indoctrinated.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next legislator that came to our attention was Senator J.J. Dossett. We went to his Biography page <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/6b932ehmbmalaehwswatawumagaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. We would first like to thank him for his service with the Oklahoma Air National Guard. He lists his employment as being a teacher. A job that gets harder every year. He has submitted SB 1097 for consideration. You can read the entire bill at <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/20b9behmbjazaehwswaiawumaiaujbuy/click.php">this link</a>. What this bill would do is beginning in two years students that desire to enroll full time in virtual schools would still be required to enroll in certain classes within the public-school system. This completely guts the virtual system of any usefulness. In addition, the student funding would be split between the public-school and the virtual school. That equals more money for fraud waste and abuse in the public-schools as they are.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to the proposal of Senator Gary Stanislawski. We went to his biography page at <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/93b84ehmbbaiaehwswatawumaiaujbuy/click.php">this link</a> and found that he is the only legislator in those we are highlighting that is not an educator. He did serve his country for several years and for that we thank him for his service. He has proposed SB 1541 which you can see at<a href="https://ymlptr3.net/9d3c1ehmbharaehwswafawumanaujbuy/click.php"> this link</a>. His proposal is not solely directed at the virtual charter schools. His proposal has the appearance of defining the duties and responsibilities of the Department of Education as well as what public-schools, charter schools and virtual charter schools must do to make the system work.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to Representative Lundy Kiger’s official Biography page <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/8e24cehmbwacaehwswaiawumaoaujbuy/click.php">here</a> and there was no biographical information there. We next went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/2484eehmbqavaehwswadawumagaujbuy/click.php">www.votesmart.org</a> to see what information they could provide. We found the information <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/0d657ehmbyaaaehwswaoawumaiaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. He turns out to be the former Principal of Panama Public Schools. He has two proposals that he has filled. The first is HB 3065 which you can read <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/718efehmhsaaaehwswaxawumapaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. There is just no easy way to say this. His proposal would just place a limit on the amount of funding virtual charter schools would get. He knows that doing so would force virtual charter schools to provide services to fewer and fewer individuals. This is a blatant attempt to run a business out of the state.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His second proposal is HB 3066 which you can see at <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/67036ehmhuaoaehwswafawumaraujbuy/click.php">this link</a>, seems more like a proposal that has been made so his name will be in the books of Oklahoma History forever. Like it or not all schools advertise. It’s the nature of the beast. To apply this law equally and fairly it would have to apply to all institutes of higher education as well. Why must they make this state look stupid?</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then we get to Representative D. Fincher. We went to his official web biography page which you can <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/5052aehmheavaehwswacawumavaujbuy/click.php">find here</a>, and found that he too has a career in education. He has made to proposals to the legislature this year. The first is HB 3405 which you can <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/66c0eehmhmaxaehwswagawumaaaujbuy/click.php">read here</a>. This bill is something that should already be done in the school districts and charter schools. It does however allow the school district that is sponsoring the charter school to receive 5% of the charter schools allotted funding for administrative fees.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His second proposal is HB 3414 which you can read <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4a675ehmhjaraehwswagawumapaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. This deals with the transfer of students between districts. It would affect charter schools within a district, but we don’t see an impact on virtual charter schools.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see, last summer’s investigation of Epic Charter School was a set up for this legislation to begin the dismantling of such education efforts in our state. The old saying of follow the money rings true here. School districts want the money that are being used to fund these students in charter schools and we ask for what? The Oklahoma Board of Education promotes liberal activism disguised as Civics that report you can see <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/45410ehmhbanaehwswavawumacaujbuy/click.php">here.</a> Two years after a 20% increase in education spending and what do the citizens get, a decline in the overall knowledge that our children has actually declined.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In closing none of these proposals are worthy of being passed into law. All they do is fulfill promises made to donors to campaigns. There should be no changes made and no further increase in education spending until teachers start teaching instead of indoctrinating.</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>HAS FOREIGN MONEY MADE ITS WAY </strong></span><strong style="font-size: large;">INTO OKLAHOMA POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS? </strong><strong style="font-size: large;">THE ANSWER IS YES</strong></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">- THE WATCHMAN - </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We know that in today’s volatile political climate and fake news environment many good informative news articles are never reported because they don’t fit the agenda of the mainstream media. Sadly, many of those stories affect the everyday citizens such as us. These stories range from violent crimes, illegal immigrants committing crimes, politicians committing crimes and political parties committing crimes. Today we shall expose one such story and the lack of cooperation from an incumbent U. S. Representatives staff to try and resolve the matter.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We do want to be perfectly clear about one thing in this article. When the funds were accepted by the campaign committee for this representative, we have no reason to believe that they were aware of the situation. Where we have the problem is in the complete lack of concern that the campaign had over the problem.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We became interested in this story after reading <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/7020behmeeacaehhyyaoaebeacaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> that came in on one of our news feeds. We browsed the list of Political Action Committees and immediately recognized that many of these PAC’s had contributed to Rep. Kendra Horn’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns. We thought we would give her the benefit of the doubt and that she was unaware of it.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We also found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/452cdehmemavaehhyyaaaebeavaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> in our news feed on the same subject. After not hearing or seeing anything on the subject on broadcast and written media, we decided to contact her campaign to see if they were aware of it and what they planned to do about it.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Before we contacted her campaign, we went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/8b39aehmejapaehhyyazaebeaiaujbuy/click.php">www.opensecrets.org</a> and looked up the names of the individuals indicated. We’ve included the documents of one individual <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/5c41cehmebaxaehhyyaaaebeavaujbuy/click.php">at this link</a>. We would urge you to open it and look at all the influence buying these individuals were doing. What makes it worse was that they were doing it at the request of a foreign nation. Yet we have not seen a single dime of those funds being returned.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We tried contacting the campaign. We were successful on the first day but were asked to call back the next day and speak with some of the senior staff. We did call back the next day and for every single day over the next two and a half weeks. They never picked up the phone. We left messages on their answering machine and never received a call back. We were left with no choice but to go with what information we had.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We did not want to write this story without the input from her campaign. We still feel that they were not aware of the illegality of the funds she received from some of the parties. We do believe that the failure to even request information to assist them in a problem that they didn’t know they had or may have was an indication that they chose to ignore the problem and trust that nobody would find out. That was a mistake.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We would recommend that all private donations to her campaign cease until such time as she has made a full accounting of any possible illegal funds. We would further recommend that the mainstream media stop paying more attention to fake news and start paying more attention to news that truly affects the citizens of this country.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
OKLAHOMA’S FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT IS THE PROPOSAL AN IMPROVEMENT, OR PROTECTIONISM?</div>
<br /><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;">THE WATCHMAN</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Oklahoma’s version of the Freedom of Information Act does work, although there is plenty of room for improvement. Perhaps the biggest complaint most users have, including us, is that there is no time limit placed on the responding agency to actually make a response to the request. We, as we’re sure many, people and organizations who do use the act to obtain information where initially encouraged to see legislation placing time limits for response. We then started doing some research and feel others should put a stop to this what we feel is nothing more than an attempt to keep information from the public.<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We became interested in this story after watching <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/49d86eheqsagaehhysaxayheataujbuy/click.php">this report</a> from News 9. It does indicate all types of various measures to be applied to state, county and municipal agencies for timely release of information. It also indicates a clause, we feel rightfully so, about the withholding of evidentiary information in criminal cases. Right at the end of that report it was indicated that the legislative branch was to be exempt from the law, which would be a continuation of current law. There was an indication of a further report to cover the subject, but we were unable to locate the report.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The proposal we are talking about is Senate Bill 1154. It would require public agencies, anything from police departments to prisons to city council members to fulfill open records request within thirty days of when those requests are made. After thirty days the agencies are subject to other legal recourse to settle the dispute.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We went to look for a copy of the proposed legislation itself. You can read it by opening <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/51638ehequakaehhysazayheadaujbuy/click.php">this link</a>. We read the proposed legislation several times just to ensure that we were not missing anything. We were unable to find any specific language that expressly exempted the legislature from being subject to the Freedom of Information Act. We see no reason why, as a legislative body that works for the citizens of this state, they should be exempted. It is our tax dollars they are paid with.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doing some further research we found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/43eeceheqeacaehhysanayheavaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> that indicates that Oklahoma is one of only four states who’s legislature have all barred their records to being subject to release under the Freedom of Information Act. Surely, they have a reason other than the roughly $60 million dollars a year they spend on trinkets to hand out to visitors to their offices. We also feel it has to be more than the settlements paid for various lawsuits brought against individual legislators. What are they hiding from taxpayers that they don’t want us to know about?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/9b2b4eheqmataehhysafayheakaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> that goes into a little more detail about Oklahoma’s current law. After reading it you can clearly see that it needs to be clarified. As for the legislature, well those overpaid individuals are paid by the people. Everything they do is with taxpayers’ dollars. There should be no exemption for the legislature at all. If they truly represent the people as they claim, then they should be willing to go under the same examination as all the other agencies in the state. If they aren’t willing to do so, then they should resign their seats.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many may not agree with the stance we take on this legislation, but until such time as the legislature is willing to go by the same laws and rules the rest of us go by, then we have no choice but to oppose this legislation.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Social Justice Warriors deserve due credit for their tireless efforts at trying to undermine the legal and penal system of not only Oklahoma, but this entire nation. This most recent effort is an affront to those good men and women in law enforcement who put their lives on the line every day to protect the citizens of this state. Not only that, but it undermines the already woefully light sentences alleged non-violent offenders get for their crimes as it is. Maybe if these do gooders would open their eyes they would realize that these criminals, and they are criminals, do very little of their sentences as it is.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is an initiative petition going around for signatures that is being, in our opinion, misrepresented to the people. That petition would be listed as State Question 805 on the November 2020 ballot. You can see the basic information on the question <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4d6d1eheehalaehhwwapahhwacaujbuy/click.php">by going here</a>. It would prohibit an offender’s prior felony convictions from being used to enhance their sentence. It also allows those currently incarcerated to apply for a reduction of their sentence provided their sentence was enhanced by a previous felony conviction. We have to wonder how much longer it will be before these snowflakes are going to ask us to put up signs in our yards asking to be a victim of a crime.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We did our research and actually found a copy of the initiative petition <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/32e74eheewaiaehhwwapahhwalaujbuy/click.php">which you can see here</a>. We find it to be full of double talk. The term “violent felony” is used often. What do they consider a violent felony. Since Social Justice Warriors love this site so much, we’ll use the definition they list for it. <em>“Legal Definition of </em><em><strong>violent felony</strong></em><em>: a crime consisting of conduct that presents a serious risk of potential injury to another or that is punishable by imprisonment for more than one year-used especially in federal sentencing of career criminals guilty of crimes involving use of a weapon.”</em> Seems to me we had a bunch of those who were just released in the great criminal release of 2019.</span></span></div>

It failed to address the complete and total lack of failure of our State Legislature to address the subject of insufficient prison space for five decades until some lobbyist came along with the private prison concept which they were willing to place $900 million a year into. They have failed to address the mental health facility shortage in the state even after the Superintendent of Mental Health leased out all but three hundred of the state beds leaving judges no choice on where to send the mentally impaired. They have even failed to address the part of corrections that is the foundation of meaningful reform. That is meaningful training in a job skill needed to make an honest wage without having to revert to crime</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/119c1ehemuaiaehhwwatahhwanaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> in the Enid News. It’s called a quest editorial but has the feel of being written by someone close to the State Question itself. He’s right. It would ease the problem in the short term. The problem is by putting all of those criminals back on the street to do what ever it is they do, you are putting the lives and property of law-abiding citizens in danger. Not only that, you are putting the lives of those who have to capture and bring them to justice again in danger. The recidivism for these people is remarkably high. The reason is they do little of their sentences to begin with. They do mere weeks on the year they were sentenced to. The second and most ludicrous of all is the fact that criminals have to work hard to go to prison in Oklahoma. Short of murder, you are arrested 6 to 10 times before you go to prison.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are going to look into the group or groups we find that are backing this petition. In the meantime, we would urge all of our readers to not sign the petition for this State Question 805. The Social Justice Warriors have had there way long enough. It’s time for those snowflakes to melt away.</span></span></div>

For those of you who may be curious about this title, the New York Post gave the title of the “Swamp Mistress” to Speaker Pelosi in their headline today. For the Representative who said, “<em>It’s time</em><em> to take off the labels and do what’s right for a change.” </em>And voted 86% of the time right along party lines, we felt that she deserved the title of her hand maiden at the very least.</div>
</div>

Yes, freshman Representative and D.C.veteran Kendra Horn ignored the rules of law and the U.S. Constitution and denied the sitting President his rights. She became part of the hate fest that was the House of Representatives. She thus became a complete and total embarrassment to this great state.</div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Along the journey of these grouse violations of the rights of the President and in fact the entire minority party of the House of Representatives, there were additional things uncovered. If these one-sided hearings did anything, they built a very good case against several Democratic politicians and their children. Speaker Pelosi’s son is now being eyed as well as Hunter Biden. We haven’t found it, but it is said that there is a commercial out for Berisma Gas Company that even features the Speaker herself. Now if we get our hands on it, we will be sure to let you see it.</div>

Yes, folks it’s been a much longer week with a lot more news than you’ve been told about. At this point in her career, we felt we needed to return to her biography to verify some information. We started by going to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/7335behubualaehhwmakahwmanaujbuy/click.php">www.Votesmart.org</a> and look at her biography page <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/5846behubeaxaehhwmalahwmafaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. As we remembered she has spent a vast majority of her time as a political consultant or a lobbyist with aerospace firms. She spent the years of 2004 through 2005, the exact months were not given, working for Congressman Brad Carson, Democrat, who represented Oklahoma’s 2<sup>nd</sup> Congressional District from 2001 through 2005.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just to make sure we had our facts correct we also visited her wikipidea page <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/67890ehubmaxaehhwmaoahwmaiaujbuy/click.php">found at this link</a>. There is no real difference between the two biographies.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were relatively sure that she intended to run for re-election in 2020, To be sure we went to her campaign web site <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/16f91ehubjalaehhwmagahwmafaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. We were shocked. For an elected official who had stated <em>“It’s time to take off the labels and do what’s right for a change.”</em> And never saw any evidence of a crime how she can consider herself as doing something that is right for a change.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We delved into her issues sections a little <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/03eb5ehubbagaehhwmadahwmagaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. We found it strangely entirely believable than individual who has spent many years lobbying for the sales of weapons of war to be opposed to having our military pull out of a war that it’s been fighting for almost twenty years. It affects her income. But as a sitting member of the House Armed Services Committee, she should get off her butt and tour the war zone, the VA hospitals and talk to the men and women who have to get out there every day and night and put their butts on the line to protect hers.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next article of interest we found was <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4cd1dehubhafaehhwmarahwmaxaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from the Tulsa world dated December 12. 2019. The gist of the article indicates that she would like to see clemency for this death row inmate during this time of year and the District Attorney, whom we seldom say anything good about, says she hasn’t even researched the case to see what it’s about. You know kind of like how she treated impeachment. Alas Social Justice Warriors never learn, especially when they are starving for attention.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now we get to the most recent events. We paid close attention to the events over the last two weeks. Representative Horn received a lot of feedback from her constituents while holding town halls in the metro area. Apparently, she failed to heed the opinions of those constituents and still voted to impeach the President. When the vote was made on Wednesday, we started looking for the official votes from the clerk of the House. We were unable to obtain them until the next day. We did receive the final version of the Articles of Impeachment, which you can see <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/5d6c2ehubwapaehhwmaoahwmaiaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , serif;">by opening this link</span></span></a><span style="color: #525252;">.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Unless you were paying attention, you may have missed the fact that there were actually two separate votes conducted. One vote for each article. The entire roll call vote as recorded by the Clerk of the House for Article 1 can be found </span><a href="https://ymlptr3.net/2257dehubqazaehhwmazahwmaxaujbuy/click.php">here</a><span style="font-weight: normal;">. This should eliminate any confusion that may be caused by erroneous reporting.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The entire roll call vote as recorded by the Clerk of the House for Article 2 can be found </span><a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4a194ehubyataehhwmafahwmafaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><u>here</u></span></span></span></a>. As you can tell, Congresswoman Horn voted for Impeachment on both articles.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now her vote came as no surprise. After being raked over the coals during her town halls, she retreated to the swamps of D.C. and made <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/08249ehuhsaoaehhwmavahwmaiaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , serif;">this statement</span></span></a>. We cannot and will not assume why she waited to get back.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now immediately below is a partial list of donors to Congresswoman Horn’s Campaign for re-election next year. Late this week news broke that a key witness for Robert Mueller’s investigation along with several other individuals were arrested for major campaign finance violations in the millions of dollars. These funds came from overseas. Many of the special interest groups listed below are among the groups who received vast amounts of donations. This includes the Oklahoma Democratic Party. We will be following up on this story and find out who has accepted the funds and what they intend to do with them now that they know that they were illegitimate.</div>

In closing all we can say is she bit the hand that fed her. A typical politician she has misled the constituents of her district since the first day of her campaign. It was easy to do. She had a very lack luster opponent to defeat even though he was an incumbent. She has spent more time as a politician or as a lobbyist than she has at doing honest work. She would be just as willing to trample over the rights of common citizen as she has proven she is willing to trample on the President of the United States.</div>

Many
hard working, well meaning individuals immigrate to this nation every
year with the intention of bettering their life and becoming good
citizens. They adjust to our customs, learn our language and continue to
practice their religion as they see fit. Sadly, they are far
outnumbered by those who enter this country illegally. Those numbers are
in the millions. This has put a strain on our budget, our education
system, our welfare system and everything else. As most of these
individuals do not pay taxes, it has hurt the tax paying citizens of
this country most of all.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
This
is not a new problem. This has been going on for decades. An agreement
was reached in the 80’s between President Reagan and the Democrats that
gave amnesty to four million illegal immigrants in exchange for funding
for more border protection. President Reagan signed an Executive Order
granting the amnesty fulfilling his end of the agreement, but the
funding has never been approved. The affect has been devastating to our
nation and to our economy.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
The
biggest problem really isn’t passing legislation, its that neither
party wants to lose the access to cheap labor they have by allowing
illegal immigration. This article will explore the hand two Oklahoma
Representatives, one Republican and one Democrat, had in passing an
amnesty bill for a certain sector of illegal immigrants.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
House
Resolution 3058 was brought to our attention by a special interest
group known as ImmigrationReform.com. The message they sent out can be
found here. We urge you to open the link and <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/260aaehuuqadaehhhjaiabwsataujbuy/click.php">read the article for yourself</a>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We decided to research the bill and went to the www.Comgress.gov website and pulled it up. You can read it for yourself by .<a href="https://ymlptr3.net/165c9ehuuyaaaehhhjaxabwsataujbuy/click.php" search="">opening this link</a>
and we do encourage you to do so. We will tell you in advance that it
is a long, dry read with a lot of legalese in it, which makes it open to
interpretation, but you will see that this plainly leaves amnesty to
those who are not criminals and a path to citizenship to those who hold
an H2 Visa.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
What
we found most disturbing was that the bill limits the ability of law
enforcement and immigration enforcement officials to be able to revoke
and deport those individuals back to their home countries once they have
committed a criminal offense here.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We
went back to Congress .gov to see if we could find a list of
co-sponsors to the bill. In all honesty we did expect to find
Representative Horn’s name there since she was the only Representative
from Oklahoma who is a Democrat. To her credit she did not co-sponsor
this bill. We were not really surprised by the name we did find,
Representative Tom Cole, Republican. We would urge you to open <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/2c118ehuesaoaehhhjakabwsapaujbuy/click.php" search="">this link </a>if you doubt what we are saying is true.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We
went back to Congress.gov and looked at the roll call vote here. You
don’t have to scroll down very far to find that two Oklahoma
Representatives voted in favor of this amnesty bill. Those
Representatives are Tom Cole and Kendra Horn.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Now
comes the disgusting part of the alleged reform. They call it reform;
we call it slavery. Below you will see section 218 of the bill. This
basically ties the wages to the state or federal minimal wage.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-size: small;"><i>(ii)

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-size: small;"><i>(I)

The
H2A temporary agricultural program establishes a means for agricultural
employers who anticipate a shortage of domestic workers to bring
non-immigrant foreign workers to the U.S. to perform agricultural labor
or services of a temporary or seasonal nature.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Representative Cole has been leaning left for a long time. The most recent review from Conservative Review <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/2419fehueuaiaehhhjaxabwsacaujbuy/click.php">found here,</a>
shows a conservative score of a mere 30%. Blue Dog Democrats score
higher than that. Don’t let him get away with coming home and
campaigning as a conservative again because he’s not. He is a liberal.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
In
conclusion this is nothing short of a blatant attempt by the Democratic
party to add voters to their ranks while Republicans stuff their
pockets. We would urge all County, District, and ward leaders of the
Republican party not to endorse Mr. Cole for reelection. We further
recommend that the Chair of the state GOP refrain from endorsing or
financing Mr. Cole in any attempt he may make to run for reelection.</div>

In a continuous tale of trying to make improvements for those who live in Oklahoma City, another of the Maps proposal will be coming up shortly. Many have asked what all it about. We shall attempt to answer some questions about the proposal. The first article we located was <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/61879ehsseazaehhmwanahysaoaujbuy/click.php">this from</a> the City of Oklahoma City. This is an informative article that is well worth the time to read. It may answer a lot of the questions you have.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next article of interest we found was this <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/61879ehsseazaehhmwanahysaoaujbuy/click.php">this</a>. This gives you information that wasn’t in the first article. Here is where you will find a lot of details, they won’t tell you anywhere else. There are several changes to how the voting for this have changed. The major change is the voting itself. Past MAPS elections have had each project voted on separately. The upcoming vote will be a single vote for all the projects. The suspected reason they did it this way was that by bundling the projects together they all stand a better chance at passing.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Most of these are worthy projects. There are some that are not. Refurbishing the Chesapeake Energy Arena is one that is not worthy. It appears that every time you turn around the residents are being forced to pay for this corporate welfare project with their tax dollars. Opening in 2002 it underwent its first upgrade improvements began in 2007. March 4, 2008, the citizens of Oklahoma City passed a $121.6 million initiative designed to renovate and expand the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Additional upgrades were made beginning in 2011. That’s three times since it opened, and they are back asking the citizens for more.</span></span></span></div>

The Family Justice Center run by Palomar. People want to know who they are. We were able to find information on them by going <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/617d1ehssmafaehhmwarahysavaujbuy/click.php">this site</a>. Although for a good cause, this is your tax dollars paying to construct a building to be ran by a corporation. Do you really want to pay their way?</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The mental health project is being short changed. With the current epidemic of drug addiction coupled with the fact that social justice warriors finally got their soft on crime bill passed, addiction and the mental health facility is needed. The recent release of individuals for being allegedly non-violent, some of whom have already been arrested again. Now more than ever that project should be larger.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then there is the multi-purpose stadium. Do we really need such a facility? We don’t think so. You can find out more on this project</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see there are several controversial projects that were proposed. This is why they grouped them together for a single ballot vote. They feel that it will get approved based on the premise that the bad projects will get approved right along with the worthy projects. They are manipulating the votes of their citizens.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another question is would this proposal raise my taxes. The answer is a simple No. It in effect extends the current tax rate until the projects are completed. <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/43755ehssjacaehhmwanahysaaaujbuy/click.php">here.</a></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/81fa7ehssbalaehhmwavahysataujbuy/click.php">this news report</a> that indicates the City of Oklahoma City is deploying the neighborhood leaders in an all out effort to get the tax payers to foot the corporate welfare bill.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In total over 70%nof the funding is geared towards neighborhood or human needs, which will start to address issues like homelessness, mental health, criminal justice, sidewalks and transit. That gives close to 30% of the funding to corporate welfare.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Oklahoma City Council did approve this plan even though there was some controversy over it. Former City Council member, Mr. Shadid, objected to the individual projects being lump into one group. You can see the objection being raised at the Oklahoma City Council meeting by going to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/9543fehsshavaehhmwaaahysacaujbuy/click.php">this report here</a>. We feel that he did raise some legitimate concerns to the Council, and they were not addressed by the Council. They can not argue that they were unaware that this may happen. At the meeting Mr. Shadid informed the Council and those present by saying “<em>As [Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt] know, absent substantive changes in the ordinance, I will file an injunction in District Court to challenge the constitutionality of this ordinance and the actions of the Mayor and the Council, which I think in a very sad, cynical, dishonest way we are working to circumvent the single-subject rule of the Oklahoma Constitution, </em>”Shadid said.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
True to his word, Mr. Shadid did in fact file his lawsuit against the city. <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/293fcehsswapaehhmwafahysapaujbuy/click.php">you can see that report here.</a> We once again feel that Mr. Shadid brought up some valid arguments.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next article of interest we found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4dc44ehssqaiaehhmwagahysadaujbuy/click.php">was this</a>. As expected, the Oklahoma City Council claimed they were not breaking the law. We find that difficult to believe coming from city officials who already break the law by being a sanctuary city.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ultimately this case wound its way through the judicial system and found it making it to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. As you can tell by <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4c6bbehssyagaehhmwacahysanaujbuy/click.php">this report</a>. The Oklahoma Supreme Court rejected Mr. Shadid’s argument which allows the City to proceed with the currently scheduled vote.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next article we found coming from the Journal Record. You’ll find <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/9fe3dehsusakaehhmwakahysalaujbuy/click.php">that you can see here</a>. There wasn’t much substance to the report other than saying that the question on the ballot was Constitutional.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4f345ehsuuazaehhmwafahysafaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> that covers the tax dollar breakdown. A complete list can be found here. We have also listed it above.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was one company listed as being the operator of the Family Justice Facility. We thought you might like to know who’s benefiting from the project so we found the <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/617d1ehssmafaehhmwarahysavaujbuy/click.php">on them here</a>. We have no doubt that they are specialized in the work they do, but we question the fact that tax dollars are being used to build them a new facility. No information was found about the bidding to run the facility was done in accordance with the law. We have sent a Freedom of information request o the City of Oklahoma City to obtain a copy of all the bids submitted but has of, yet we have not received a reply.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our review has concluded that the ballot initiative as it stands puts the voter in a position of having to vote yes to ensure that the children and senior citizens get what they need while also having to approve a Soccer Stadium, which is not needed, at the same time. That of course is what the City Council wants to begin with. We urge the voters to vote no on this bill and force the city council to have a second election where each individual voter can cast a vote on particular subjects.</div>

<strong>FINANCING A SECOND CAMPAIGN FOR OFFICE: </strong><strong>WHERE IS ALL THAT MONEY COMING FROM? </strong></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are often asked where we get the inspiration for the articles we right. That is a very fair and legitimate question. We get our inspiration from various news articles we read on the internet. That is where this week’s story comes from. There was a very good article in the <a href="http://muskogeepolitico.com/">MuskogeePolitico.com</a>. The article can be viewed <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/08001ebybhaiaehheyakaqwacaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. The article covers an interesting subject about the campaign finance raised by Representative Hern over the last quarter. It’s well worth your time to read it.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first thing we did was go to his campaign website located <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/465baebybwapaehheyataqwataujbuy/click.php">here</a> to find out as much about his campaign as we could.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We started by going to the page that covers “Promises Kept.” You can see the report <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/81840ebybqavaehheyalaqwapaujbuy/click.php">by opening this link</a>. It looks impressive on the surface, but we had our doubts. We looked a little deeper.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to the voting records page <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/3799debybyalaehheyacaqwanaujbuy/click.php">located here</a>. We couldn’t help but to wonder why he would vote against a piece of legislation and turn around and vote for a motion to recommit. That negates his no vote.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We looked at a few of the pieces of legislation and found one that specified a particular Congressional district in Colorado. The House Amendment 659 is what got our attention. Specifically, House Amendment 659 to House Resolution 823. He voted Yea to recommit on the Amendment then No on the next vote. Voting no was a good vote. If passed this would have allowed one Congressional District to be granted a special exemption. He should have voted no in the vote to recommit. His vote to recommit was a bad vote. His o vote is tainted due to an arrangement being made to not let the amendment pass. You can see the details by going to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/24307ebyhsaaaehheyaiaqwaaaujbuy/click.php">this link.</a> It is well worth the time,</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/50effebyhuanaehheyataqwacaujbuy/click.php">this site</a> to see what information they could provide. Mr. Hern is in his second full year as a member of the House. There is some good information about the election and some of the votes he made. It is recommended that you open the link and browse through the article.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/1773bebyheacaehheyafaqwaxaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> in Wikipedia. There is more biographical information on him here than anywhere else we looked. It’s well worth the read.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We found this <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/41dd2ebyhmapaehheyacaqwaraujbuy/click.php">this article</a> on govtrack. We opted not to choose one of the bills he voted on as a member of the House. This article shows how he voted on many different bills. This is good material for anyone that wants to vote for him to see how his record is.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/382e5ebyhjazaehheyagaqwataujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/1bcebebyhbalaehheyaiaqwazaujbuy/click.php">www.opensecrets.org</a>. This covers a lot of his campaign financing. It’s not a complete picture, but it is worth reviewing.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/70b2debyhhagaehheyapaqwaaaujbuy/click.php">www.votesmart.org</a> to see what information they had available on Mr. Hern. We started by looking at the Just Facts portion of the bill <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/5d572ebyhwakaehheyagaqwanaujbuy/click.php">found here</a>. It condenses the overall report down to a quick glance. We found that it gave you an example of how and what he did as the Representative for District 1. We feel there is not enough information in this short article that can truly help an individual decide whether or not to vote for him.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to the biography page <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/648cdebyhqapaehheyaaaqwanaujbuy/click.php">located here</a>. This page provided us with the best biographical information available.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We took the time to look at his complete voting record by going <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/153cdebyhyazaehheyaaaqwaoaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. This covers his complete voting record. It can be an eye opener.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to the evaluation page located <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/648cdebyhqapaehheyaaaqwanaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. We would have to say that we were disappointed in what we found. We found only four evaluations on this page that are important. You can see them below.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">If we were going by endorsements only, then we would be saying that he’s a liberal. Based on his short term in office, we feel these low marks are presenting a false flag. We should review this section again prior to the voting.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to the Campaign Finance page, which can be found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/6b302ebywsadaehheyaoaqwacaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">here</span></span></span></a>. We will say that donors seem to be evenly split between individuals and special interest groups. We found it completely disheartening to find that his campaign was over one million dollars in debt. How can he claim to be Conservative when he’s mis-managing his campaign like this. We did note that this page did not include the funds he received during the last quarter. We looked deeper.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/718afebywuagaehheyagaqwagaujbuy/click.php">www.fec.gov</a> to look at his campaign reports. We were disheartened again to see that even with the influx of donations, he was still over 1.3 million in debt for his campaign. You can find that information by going to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/328caebyweacaehheyaxaqwaraujbuy/click.php">this link</a> here. Out of all that incoming funding, he only managed to repay $50,000 dollars of his debt. This guy is helping to see how much taxpayer’s money gets waisted by an over bloated government and all the wasteful spending, and he can’t even pay back what he owes on other loans.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We looked deeper into his finances and the $300,000 dollars his campaign received by <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/0b0aaebywmataehheyavaqwazaujbuy/click.php">to this page</a></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of the report. Again, we found the number of donors split between individuals and special interest groups. Looking at this report though it is clear that the special interest groups donated the bulk of the funds.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By looking at all the available information, it comes to a point where all we have here is a RINO Republican claiming , like so many legislators in Oklahoma, to be a Conservative. We do not endorse candidates, but we would highly recommend that voters do their research before they go to the polls next year. We cannot recommend voting for an individual that is so bad at handling his campaign finances.</div>

We are shocked to see that Oklahoma still ranks among the top five in the amount of freedom we have, but those liberal, establishment Republicans are always looking for a way to take a little more of that freedom away.</div>

Now we find that the leadership of the state GOP is in complete disarray. That break down led to the defeat of the Republican Incumbent in the 2016 general election. What brought our attention to this sordid take was <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/8628cebymqaoaehhuuacahhyaraujbuy/click.php">this story</a> from the Muskogee Politico. This was showing how much she raised during the last quarter. We were curious as to where all that money came from, so we went to the Federal Elections Commission <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/3b269ebymyacaehhuuazahhyalaujbuy/click.php">here</a> to see what information they could provide. You can see the results below.<br />

You can go the web site and download all of her contributions if you desire. What we found was that a vast amount of her money was coming in from out of state.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the donors that appeared several times on just the first page was a group called <em>“ActBlue.”</em> We did look into this group to see who they were. We found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/7250eebyjuaraehhuuaoahhyapaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> on Wikipedia. They call themselves a Political Action Committee. This group basically funnels money from individuals to Democrat Candidates to try and get them elected to office. We first became familiar with them during the 2016 political campaigns. The were often found as contributors to those schoolteachers who ran as Democrats that year.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/8dfc9ebyjeaaaehhuuatahhyapaujbuy/click.php">www.votesmart.org</a> to look at her voting record. You can see her voting record by going to <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7164654652559420426#.XbvgM75_OM8">this link</a>. <span style="text-decoration: none;">We found two votes that were particularly disturbing to us. The first was House Resolution 294 which would have brought</span> House Resolution 1644 to floor for consideration. This was a mass amnesty bill for immigration. You can see a report on the bill <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/7250eebyjuaraehhuuaoahhyapaujbuy/click.php">here</a>. She voted Nay, but we failed to see her reason for her to vote that way. She covers the city of Oklahoma City, which is a Sanctuary City according to I.C.E. The bill passed the House 219 for and 201 against.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second bill was the vote on impeachment. In <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/38134ebyjmafaehhuuanahhyanaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , serif;">this article</span></span></a> she tells an interviewer <em>“Well, These are serious bottom line is I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and to serve Oklahoma and the 5</em><sup><em>th</em></sup><em> Congressional District. And While I didn’t support an impeachment inquiry, I certainly know that these are serious allegations that have to be investigated. </em>“We would ask when is she going to start? A secret Kangaroo Court held in a basement where the Chairman won’t allow members of the other political party to ask questions is no place to start. If she wants to protect thee Constitution, she should have red the resolution before she voted. She would have found that the President’s equal and fair</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Treatment under the law were still not going to be recognized. That was said on a live broadcast on October 4<sup>th</sup>, 2019.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Less than a month later she uses twitter to announce that she will vote for the inquiry. Oklahoma City Channel 25 filed <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/53481ebyjjakaehhuuavahhyaxaujbuy/click.php">this report</a>. We can only speculate why she used twitter instead of being willing to face the questions of her constituents. This was not a bi-partisan bill. In fact, the only bi-partisanship shown was By Rep Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey and Rep Collin Peterson of Minnesota. Both are Democrats and voted nay. Both indicated that the process so far has been overly partisan and is further dividing this country.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This comes from an individual who campaigned on being a different kind of Democrat politician. The only difference we found between her and Speaker Pelosi was their age.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We admire her wanting to live up to the oath she took. It’s the same oath all members of the Armed Forces take as well. Mack most former military feel that the oath has no expiration date on it. If she wants to protect and defend the Constitution she should start with her own political party. Florida Representative Alcee Hastings has been in office for over twenty years. It is an office that he has been disqualified for. You see he’s a former impeached and convicted Federal Judge who according to the Constitution is prohibited from holding an office of honor within the federal government.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her campaign was to be a different, non-partisan representative of Oklahoma Congressional District 5. Like most politicians, she has proven that she is nothing more than a political hack and yes woman to Nancy Pelosi. She is a disgrace to the people she said she would represent. She is a prime example of why the State of Oklahoma should pass a Recall law to give the people a chance to correct the mistakes.</div>

The subject of today's review is District 29 Representative Kyle Hilbert. Looking at his background from his college days we find it hard to believe that he would actually get involved in something like the National Popular Vote.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We first went to his official web page, <a href="https://www.okhouse.gov/Members/District.aspx?District=29">located here</a>, to see what information was available. This was a biography page. There is little useful information available here. The most useful would be his office telephone numbers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We next found <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Kyle_Hilbert">this article</a> from Ballotpedia. Now at a glance it appears that he sponsored some good legislation, however that is not the case. A good portion of the legislation are actually proclamations for various things. He wrote a tax increase bill that never got out of committee. The rest are bills designed to micro-manage the state budget. We agree with the need for more oversight but fail to understand why it must be micro-managed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We next went <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Hilbert">this site</a> to look at his Wikipedia page. It was a complete waste of our time. There was no useful information at all. Except for the basics, the page was blank.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We next went to <a href="http://www.votesmart.org/">www.votesmart.org</a> to see what information they had available. We started by going to the biography page <a href="https://ymlp.com/zjN7YR#.XalPjb5_OM8">located here</a>. We found a lot of information that was unknown before this page was found.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We next went to <a href="https://ymlp.com/zjN7YR#.XalP4L5_OM8">this section</a> to get an idea of his voting record. We were appalled to find someone claiming to be a Conservative yet voted for every tax increase offered. We were further appalled that he claims to be a Conservative yet voted in favor of every soft on crime measure presented to the floor. These attitudes only lead to higher crime rates in the state.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We next went to the ratings and endorsement section <a href="https://ymlp.com/zjN7YR#.XalQYL5_OM8">located at this link</a>. We linked the entire section in order to give readers the opportunity to see the entire report. We have given some examples below.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

We next went to look at his campaign finance report provided by <a href="http://www.followthemoney.org/">www.followthemoney.org</a>. Although Action Committees dominated his campaign finances. You can see the report <a href="https://ymlp.com/zjN7YR#.XalQp75_OM8">located here</a>. There’s enough to call into question who he is working for.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
The next article of interest we found <a href="https://oklahomawatchdata.org/legislators/kyle-hilbert">was this</a>. It doesn’t really tell you much, but it does give you this statement, <em>“ Hopefully the Legislature will address our budget crisis and provide long term solutions.”</em> Well it was addressed by putting an additional tax burden on the citizens who could least afford it while giving large companies a tax break. Have they ever thought of cutting state spending? It’s doubtful.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
The next article of interest we found <a href="https://sapulpatimes.com/kyle-hilbert-state-house-district-29/">was this</a> from the Sapulpa Times. There is one quote from the very first of this article that stands out. That quote is <em>Pledging a fresh perspective in the State Capitol.”</em> That quote raises the question. If this is a fresh perspective how come, we ended up with the same old Liberal tax and spend Rino’s that have been in office all a long?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
We next went to the Trump Index to see how he voted on matters that Oklahomans are concerned about. His Conservative rating took a major hit. His voting on these matters earned him an 11% Conservative rating. You can see the questions and his votes listed below.</div>

What this has indicated is that just like his Democratic friends, his liberal mind set wants to deny you your right to have your vote counted in a Presidential election. His record is a disgrace. It would be highly recommended that he be replaced with a true conservative.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tonight, we bring you the third installment of those who wish to silent your vote. District 12 Senator James Leewright is the subject of tonight’s presentation.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We began by going to his official biography page. You can find it by opening <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/3ec84ebhhmaaaehbwwaxabsbaiaujbuy/click.php">this link</a>. We will give him credit for being a little more open than some of his colleagues in the Senate. After reading it, it became difficult to draw conclusions on the man with an open mind. We will say this much. His biography displays a tendency to lean towards the business community rather than his constituents.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to his campaign web site <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/146caebhhjapaehbwwalabsbaaaujbuy/click.php">located here</a>. Although this is relatively good site, it’s lacking in something that is vital to the knowledge of the voters. We were unable to locate any trace about where he stood on anything that is an issue the voters would be concerned about. We found this to be true throughout our investigation. This allows him to say what ever he feels the voters are concerned about without being pinned down to his written word. Another word for such actions is simply cowardly lies.</div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next article of interest we found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/7a89aebhhbataehbwwatabsbanaujbuy/click.php">was this</a> article from Ballotpedia. This will show you how he faired in every campaign he has successfully ran in. Although percentage wise it looks very good, reality takes the shine away due to the lack of voters who actually cast a ballot for these elections. Low voter turns out has plagued not just Oklahoma, but the entire nation as well.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were able to find a Wikipedia page on him <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/538f5ebhhhataehbwwatabsbanaujbuy/click.php">located here</a>. Finding it was like finding a blank page in the middle of a book. There was no usable information on the page.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/839f3ebhhwalaehbwwalabsbakaujbuy/click.php">this article</a>. Once again there was little to no usable information contained in the article. This does show his progressive leaning mind track in the few answers that were provided.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/91443ebhhqanaehbwwaoabsbaxaujbuy/click.php">www.votesmart.org</a> to see what information was available. We started with his political summary page <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5342115318170826175#.XZbeu1d_OM8">located at this link</a>. It is here that you begin to see his political stance. He has voted yea on every soft on crime bill listed. It even indicates that he has no true political courage when he refused to take a stand on the political courage test sheet. Like a good many other politicians, he likes to keep people in the dark about his true beliefs.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to the biography page <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5342115318170826175#.XZbfDFd_OM8">located here</a>. This page went into a lot more detail than the official biography listed earlier. There were no dramatic changes between the two.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to his voting record. You can review his record by <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5342115318170826175#.XZkKznp_OM9">opening this link</a>. We would recommend that you do read his voting record. It is very apparent that he is soft on crime and likes to raise taxes. These are both liberal traits. We have found that the individuals who submit these records tend to include what they think the people would like. We urge caution when you are evaluating his voting record.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to the political courage page <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5342115318170826175#.XZbfkld_OM8">located here</a>. Once again it is apparent that he is lacking in political courage. We have found that candidates tend not to answer these questions. By not answering, the candidate can change his stance to fit the people he wants to vote for him. We abhor this practice.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then went to his ratings and endorsement page <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5342115318170826175#.XZbf11d_OM8">here</a>. For your convenience we listed a few examples below.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These scores are indicative of an individual that is willing to cater to the business community and lay the heavy cost of taxes and increased item cost on the back of the consumer.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next went to the campaign finance report section <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5342115318170826175#.XZbgF1d_OM8">at this link</a>. This report is compiled by <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/7445febhhyagaehbwwavabsbafaujbuy/click.php">www.followthemoney.org</a>. Although several individual donors were listed, a vast majority of his campaign was financed by special interest groups. Most notable of these groups included the chemical giant Monsanto. Big pharma was also a contributor to his campaign. This would indicate a willingness to vote in the favor of these special interest groups which affects what we the consumers pay for such services.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We next found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/983eaebhwsazaehbwwatabsbavaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> on legislation and how he voted. Almost immediately you can tell that his votes favored special interest groups over the consumer. This amounts to him paying back the special interest groups for their donations.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next article of interest we found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/27859ebhwuakaehbwwavabsbafaujbuy/click.php">was this</a> from the Sapulpa Times. What this article amounts to is a brag sheet on a piece of legislation he had introduced. We don’t disagree with the subject of the article, but we do feel that there are more important issues facing the state than what is required for an animal sold in a pet store.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/3aba8ebhweaoaehbwwalabsbadaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> that indicates how he voted on various pieces of legislation. We were not impressed.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We found <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4a71cebhwmaxaehbwwakabsbafaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> from the Claremore Progressive. For the first time in over a decade legislation was offered to raise the minimum wage. We do object to the total raise requested, however, even those just getting into the job market deserve a bit of a raise. Sadly, this legislation never made it to a committee.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In conclusion, this Senator appears to be willing to at least listen to a presentation about making your vote not count while he is doing his best to keep the good, hardworking people of his district and in thee State of Oklahoma hard pressed to get ahead in life. We would not recommend him for another term in office.</div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This week we bring you the second installment of those accepting trips from the National Popular Vote lobbyist. Yes, they have a lobbyist pushing it at the state capital. Once again, we received some good information on the subject from the<a href="https://%20muskogeepolitico.org/" target="_blank"> Muskogeepolitico.org</a>. What we found was that some of the senior levels of politicians are not for this proposal.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We’ll begin by going to Lt.Governor Matt Pinnell. You can read his comments <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/43e6debhehacaehbbyadamhwadaujbuy/click.php">by going to this</a> link. He is a long-time opponent pf the National Popular Vote and remains stead fast in his opposition.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another of the state leaders opposed to the National Popular Vote is the Senate-pro tem Senator Treat.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">You can find Senator Treats comments by going to <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/423f6ebhewavaehbbyazamhwaiaujbuy/click.php">this link</a> here. He too is a long-time opponent to the effort.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This article found it’s roots from <a href="https://ymlptr3.net/1f4a0ebheqavaehbbyavamhwanaujbuy/click.php">this article</a> last week. As we said last week, we were shocked by the number of legislators willing to let your vote not count. We would hope that when these individuals’ campaign for re-election that the each have a challenger from their perspective party and are voted out.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let's look at one of these politicians willing to give away your right to influence the Presidential election, Mark Lawson.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">We next went to </span><a href="https://ymlptr3.net/4959aebheyacaehbbyaiamhwanaujbuy/click.php"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , serif;">www.votesmart.org</span></span></a><span style="text-decoration: none;"> to see what information was available. </span><span style="text-decoration: none;">The first item we looked at was the Political Summary page which you can see by </span><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5342115318170826175#.XYZ621d_OM9">going to this link</a><span style="text-decoration: none;">. It doesn’t say much for his being a conservative. In fact, he’s not.</span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">We next went to his biography page which you can read by going </span><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5342115318170826175#.XYZlSVd_OM8">here</a><span style="text-decoration: none;">. We found no major differences between this biography and his official biography. We didn’t expect that there would be.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">We next went to the Key Votes page which you can see for yourself by </span><a href="https://ymlptr3.net/6e4fcebhmsaiaehbbyaxamhwafaujbuy/click.php">going here</a><span style="text-decoration: none;">. When we went through it, we found numerous incidents of him voting that we consider liberal leaning. It would appear that he is some what of aa Social Justice Warrior. We will follow up on this liberal attitude a little later on in the article.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0in;">

We would urge you to open this link and review his finances for yourself. We found very few individual donors but plenty of special interest group. We also found the name of one of former Presidents Obama’s major campaign bundlers. This individual, George Kaiser, added to his fortune by gouging taxpayers in a failed Solyndra energy Co. He bought a part of them when the company closed owing taxpayers billions of dollars. This is indicative of an elected official doing the bidding of the Special Interest.</span></span></div>
